Dear Michael,
I would suggest that you contact the Technical Advisory Service for Images (TASI),
who provide a range of guidance and a telephone advice line which covers, among
other things, advice on selecting the best resolution for image scanning in different
contexts.
You can find out more about TASI on their website at http://www.tasi.ac.uk.
Hope this helps!
