Can anyone provide a ballpark figure on cost per image for scanning of images in-house? I'm afraid it's rather a hodgepodge of original formats and hardware devices: illustrations from books, slides, and prints of various sizes, in color and black and white, scanned at 600 dpi (relative to size), stored with minimal adjustment, and reduced for inclusion in an image database. I would be interested in any and all ideas about costs for such a project, though I have the hardware and display issues under control.-- Janine Pollock Assistant Librarian for Pictorial Collections Chemical Heritage Foundation http://www.chemheritage.org (215) 925-2222 Ext. 231The views expressed here are those of the individual author only, and not necessarily those of the Chemical Heritage Foundation.
