RFP - Parliamentary Counsel Office (NZ) - Conversion of Statutes Collection

The Parliamentary Counsel Office (PCO) have completed a project to scan as enacted legislation from 1841-2007 to PDF (note that Tiff files were also created and the collection was OCRd).

Those PDFs are currently being hosted on a website external to PCO
http://www.nzlii.org/nz/legis/hist_act/.

PCO want to convert the as enacted legislation plus the 1908 consolidation (the collection) to XML and have the correct mark-up applied so that the PCO can publish that legislation to the New Zealand Legislation website
http://www.legislation.govt.nz/.

Note that there are approximately 164,750 pages in the collecti
on.
