Dear All
I've just joined the list, and wonder if I could bother people with a query?
I'm involved in a nascent project at the University of East Anglia to put
transcriptions and images of archival documents on line (we're currently
preparing a bid for JISC funding to try to get the project properly
underway). We're only planning to put a sample of images (of original
documents) on-line, mainly as illustrative material, but obviously one would
like users to be able to read them clearly. My question therefore is this:
is there a recommended level of quality for scanning this kind of image for
web-site use? Would, for example, 600 dpi be of sufficient quality, or do
people generally aim for a higher specification?
Apologies if my question displays my appalling ignorance...
cheers
