Re: glass slides
Hi Jeremy, They are 35mm aluminum mount glass slides. Wow, there is a manual focus scanner??? I would want them to be, say about 50m. apiece. That is cool your dept. does this! I am weeding through them all right now; some will go to historical places and I will just send them there and let them deal with scanning. Some I'm tossing because I have no idea who they are since both parents are dead. This is when I would wish I could talk to dead people. So I am trying to mass edit. It is such a huge project but until I finish it I can't eat because it is covering my 4ft x 6ft kitchen table :) Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeremy Moore" <jeremydmoore@gmail.com> To: <alt-photo-process-l@usask.ca> Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 9:04 AM Subject: Re: glass slides Are these lantern slides (from the glass and size larger than projectors it sounds like it)? I've digitized quite a few glass slides/negatives/plates and to be honest, they are one of the easiest items to digitize at high quality because they lay so flat. Depending upon the thickness of the mounts you may need to have them scanned by someone with a manually focusing scanner (like the Epson 10000XL for instance). We do this where I work so if you can send me the dimensions and your resolution requirements offlist I can send you a quote to have my department scan them though we are not taking on new projects until October 1st. -Jeremy- On Wed, Jul 16, 2008 at 8:58 AM, Christina Z.
