<pre> Megan,

We are in the beginning stages of this process and are looking for ballpark figures on start-up and on-going costs associated with a digital project.

We would like to start with digitizing our photograph collection of the Hall of Fame members. I would estimate the collection to be around 75,000 images primarily black and white. The sizes are anywhere from wallet size to 8x10
(some larger). We would want to create an "archival" image at the highest resolution with derivative images created from this image.

Is it possible to get some figures with this much information? If you need additional information please contact me at 607.547.0350.

Thank you! Anne McFarland

Luna Imaging, Inc. provides scanning services on an outsourced basis, and we specialize in digitization of cultural heritage materials. We have also placed personnel on site for large digitization projects (using our equipment and staff, with removal upon completion) at institutions such as the Museum of Modern Art, and soon to be at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Feel free to contact me directly for more information regarding pricing and scheduling.

Sincerely,

I am trying to gather information on companies that provide scanning contracting services. For example, rather than purchasing scanning equipment we are considering leasing ... rather than hiring permanent people to scan our collection we are considering contract personnel.

Has anyone taken this approach?

What companies are available?

What were the pros and cons?

If you do everything in-house how do you keep up with new scanning technology?

How do you keep good scanning personnel?

Thank you so much for your help. I did not find anything in the archives about this but if it has already been discussed please let me know and I will take another look.

Thank you! Anne
