Actually, there are about 6 VA quads not scanned, but many aren't on the
site yet. 

The "raw" scans (without the html) are at
http://prr.dementia.org/temp

This is just WV and VA. Steve Titchenal was scanning OH and IN.

2 directories, represent 2 trips to penn state. (there was a 3rd but that
one is so old that the material is integrated)

the older run is probably on their site. the newer run probably isn't.
