Hi Heather Many thanks for your reply. This information is really useful (as have been the other responses I've received - I've replied directly to them) and I will be taking the recommendations forward. Many thanks again.

Some finds illustrations have been scanned in-house by our Picture Norfolk team (https://www.norfolk.gov.uk/libraries-local-history-and-archives/photo-collections/picture-norfolk ), but RPJ has scanned almost 68,000 items for us so far including sets of original record cards, reports with pull-out A3 diagrams, newspaper cuttings glued to paper (don't ask) and other slightly awkward items. They've been excellent - extremely high quality and a pleasure to deal with as they really pay attention to our specific needs and if we have any problems they fix it immediately. They're also very well-priced. We'd passed their details on to the Suffolk HER and would highly recommend them.

I'd be grateful to hear from anyone who has had any experience of a task like this and can recommend contractors who can not only scan a variety of different formats, but also index them for inclusion into HBSMR.
