Thanks for sharing this on MAPS-L, Matt! Another way to get to your
fantastic article (I read various drafts through the process and learned
alot myself, though much is beyond my grasp since I don't work directly
in that realm!) is to go directly to the Journal of Map & Geography's
homepage where the online version of the latest issue is now available:
http://www.tandfonline.com/toc/wmgl20/current#.UkOJ6H-H9GQ

And there are 7 other articles + a column in this issue that will
benefit many readers of this list. (yes, I'm biased, just a tad...)

All,

Over the past few years, I had the pleasure of working through some
tough imaging issues with the folks at Stanford, whcih we documented and
are sharing through the Journal of Map & Geography Libraries: Advances
in Geospatial Information, Collections & Archives. Studies could have
been much more scientific, but the conclusions were helpful
none-the-less. We looked at different imaging technologies and included
snapshots of production costs. Stanford also shares the Potrace-based
vectorization approach that was another outcome of the study.

Here's their blog post with a link to the article:

Cheers,
Matt
