scanning woes
Jan. 24th, 2013 01:14 pmDoes anyone have any recommendations for scanning fragile documents? I've been lent a box of 1850s-1930s fashion magazines, in order to scan the illustrations, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to kill them just by putting them in the scanner.
The 1850s and 1860s Godey's Lady Books, in particular, are practically falling apart in my hands, and there's no way the binding would survive being laid flat in a scanner. There are some gorgeous images in these that I really want to get digital copies of, but I can't see how to do it without damaging them irreparably.
