I just returned from a conference on digitization at Denver University. I
believe that the Colorado Digitization Project has done some the the best work
in settingstandards for scanning and related operations, including
refreshing and metadata. See their standards pages at http://coloradodigital.coalliance.org/standard.html.
For scanning standards, contact the Nebraska Historical Society, Ford
Preservation Center in Omaha: http://www.nebraskahistory.org/lib-arch/research/photos/digital/index.htm
Good luck.
>>> AT <atieger@YAHOO.COM> 7/11/01 1:46:53 PM >>> Hi everyone, A non-archival friend has a job working for a historical society, scanning and digitizing photographs. Nobody at her workplace knows anything about standards for this kind of thing, and she has asked me for help. She has been doing a little research and has been told both 400 dpi and 1200 dpi (for the tif file). Can anyone come up with something definitive? Please reply to me personally: atieger@yahoo.com. And let me know where your info originates. Thanks ever so much. Aaron ===== "Lost but not forgotten, from the dark heart of a dream..."
