Among other vendors, try Applied Graphics Technologies. They not only do large-scale scanning of all formats of negs, reflective art and more, they also have a good system for indexing, annotating and databasing the results. They've thought out a lot of the archiving angles and are very flexible. May be expensive (it's all relative), but they have great services. The Digital Imaging Systems Division is in Rochester NY, at 716/277-1764 (talk to Sid Leever). --Chris Orr Info Specialist Benjamin Cummings Publishing Co. Redwood City, CA mailto:chriso@bc.aw.com
