Hello Stephen
I have used and previously worked for TownsWeb archiving they have
completed work for royal collections, Bank of England and royal
photographic society to name but a few. What you are looking for is
their standard service. They offer quite a quick turnaround and the images
are of very high quality using a mixture of phase one and high spec canon
dslr.
Simon Chandler Barratt or Alex Walker are the sales consultants there if
you google TownsWeb for contact details.
I am also using Icam who generally specialise in creating software and
equipment for scanning but they do undertake small projects both companies
are based in Northamptonshire and will collect your material and return.
TownsWeb also offer an onsite service if you have room for them.
I hope that helps
