    We are planning to scan a selection of 1300 maps of the Historical Boundary Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Peru. We would like to know more about the technical specifications for each one of the images: Archive, Display, Access and Thumbnail. Eventhough I have been reading that the archive image should be scanned in TIFF at 300dpi, 24 bit, RGB, no compression, and that the thumbnail should be GIF or JPG, 72dpi, 8bit, RGB, no compression; - I do not really know the proper specs for the other two images.

    I have also seen that MrSID is used by some institutions like the Library of Congress and would like to know more about the pros and cons of using this software. Thank you in advance for your help.
