Dear Colleagues
We are hoping to commence a programme to digitise some of our collections of private papers in order to conserve the originals from wear and tear and to improve access for our visitors. I would therefore be most grateful if anyone who has already completed such a project could contact me to pass on their hard-earned experience, notably the pros and cons of in-house digitisation compared with outsourcing this work, the names and addresses of companies/bodies who could scan original material or microfilms for us, and how to avoid some of the pitfalls that lurk for unsuspecting archivists.
Many thanks
With best wishes.
Yours faithfully
Dr Simon Robbins
