  Hello,

  I am trying to build a website that will list about 130 years worth of historical newspapers from our community. All of the files have been OCR’d and converted to PDF. There is a total of about 50 GB of PDF files.

  I would like to create a directory listing of these files sorted by Paper name (we had several different papers), then sub-folders under listing years, and then within each year subfolder the newspaper PDF’s themselves. I also would like to know if it is possible to create a WordPress site that would allow search functionality of the contents of those PDF files (i.e. if someone was doing some family history research, they could search by a particular name and the search would scan the contents of those PDF documents and return results).

  What would be my options here?

  Thanks for any advice you can give to me.
