Hi there We are in the process of having a quantity [50] of desk diaries digitised by an external company. There is valuable information in all of the diaries although there are sections of each one that have no entries. Colleagues and I are debating the best approach: do we ask for every page of every diary to be digitised so we have a complete and continuous record although the digitisation costs will be higher; or do we go through each diary and note which sections are blank and tell the digitisation company to ignore these sections. The latter will mean a less complete digital record and a lot more initial work on our behalf although the quote is likely to be lower. I'd be very grateful to hear off-list from anyone who has gone through a similar process and let me know what conclusions you reached.
