    <pre> You might want to try talking to Octavo Corp. -- I believe they're in the area and have substantial experience working with archival material. Their website is http://www.octavo.com

    As an aside, we've some large format digitization but have used a traditional copy stand and film camera to do the initial work followed up by scanning the negatives. While we've gotten some success with this, I wouldn't recommend it unless part of the process is preservation as well.

    > We are looking for names of individuals (preferably in California) who
    might be able to advise us on the feasibility of using a digital camera to digitize some percentage of our 32,000-piece poster collection. We would especially like to identify someone with some production experience with large color images (24" x 18" and larger) in an archival (as opposed to commercial) setting. We have a lot of "quick and dirty" in-house uses for a digital camera and plan to purchase one in the near future, but we don't know yet if we should consider a digital camera for our ongoing digital imaging project (in which we scan from slides on to PhotoCDs.)
