Hi James
This was more about the sharing than the digitisation, but a few years ago I did a small project as part of a course to put a few badges from my personal collection online:

-- I managed to get reasonable hi-res images of the badges with a digital camera -- but getting diffuse lighting was definitely the hardest part.
