    <pre> At Preservation Resources we have just completed a very successful test digitizing glass plate negatives. Our solution involves the hybrid approach of first filming the originals on archival continuous-tone microfilm and then scanning the film in 8-bit grayscale. We can scan at a resolution up to 900 DPI in relation to the original (based on a plate size of approximately 9" x 7").

    For more information on this approach, please contact me or Lynn Wagner at 1-800-773-7222.

    Regards,

         Dear Colleagues,

         I have an urgent requirement for information about scanning
         photographs from glass plates. I will need up to 600 DPI. Help.
         Any recommendations for equipment, DPI.

         Thanks in advance.
