Preserving old manuscripts
Just listened to an interesting podcast about digitization of very old manuscripts - some interesting thoughts on reasons for digitizing rare books and documents... and why having portable, easy-to-use book scanners is a good thing: http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/ ... ing-words/
Re: Preserving old manuscripts
I've read a bit about them before - it's interesting to see another news story up. There's also this journal article from Microform and Imaging Review about the Hill Museum's manuscript digitization equipment.
