The DC Public Library has the morgue file of the Washington Star newspaper
which includes a million photographs.  We want to begin a scanning project
which would include those photos taken by Star staff photographers of
mostly local topics.  All photos are black and white.  Only a very small
percentage are larger than 8"x10".  I attended the excellent ALA program
on imaging and have read Richard Boss' article in Library Technology.  I
still would like to have suggestions for brands and models.  Also what
software is being used.  We do not wish to change ie improve the photos.
Thanks for your help.
