Re: Large format items



I have been scanning some reasonably large items, including 19th-century
posters and 18th-century letters on longer-than-legal-sized paper.  I scan
them in as many pieces as it takes (we only have a fairly small scanner at
the moment), and then put the pieces back together in Adobe Photoshop
6.  They can then be saved as jpeg files.  Next year we're supposed to be
getting a really big flat-bed scanner and a printer that can handle large
format items, which should make scanning large items easier and printing
them possible, but for now this seems to work well.

Dear Archive List,

Does anyone have experience scanning/copying/printing
large format items such as newspapers, oversize
scrapbooks, campaign posters, or other items where
microfilming is not the best solution? We are
investigating the best way to not only preserve these
materials but also provide off site access through
either our web site or CD/DVD copies.

Please respond to:
