Playboy goes digital

Playboy on Friday unveiled its plans to digitally preserve its entire text and photo archives. All 636 editions of 53 years-old erotic monthly magazine will be available page-by-page on six discs, one for each decade.

The Bondi Digital Publishing will scan and re-type all 636 editions of the Playboy, which include a total of 115,800 printed pages and more than 93,000 photos.

In a press release, Playboy founder Hugh M. Hefner said: "This digital archive is a first in the mass consumer magazine and men's category."

"Playboy magazine has a tremendous legacy. With our loyal readership, which has always shown a real interest in our archival issues, we knew this would be the perfect opportunity to offer Playboy fans what they have wanted for years," Hefner said.
