Dear Sara,
This sounds like you should join the US based ImageMuse Yahoo group for advice on the digitisation and copyright aspects, you could also get advice from the UK equivalent, AHFAP if you wished.
*Assuming* you do not have an in-house photography team, ImageMuse would be able to advise on US based freelancers.

Subject: Digitizing Exhibition Catalogs
Apologies for the cross-posting.
Hi Everyone,
An idea of digitizing all of our exhibition catalogs has been thrown on the table. Has anyone done this before? What were the copyright/logistical challenges? The ideal would be to put the catalogs online eventually. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
