----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Scanner and map conservation I have spoken with restaurorers of our library and they have also fear of scanning maps. We have decided to make first a colour microfilm. This colour microfilm is very useful. On the WWW-site of the Ryhiner Project you will find a contribution of Martin Gubler and Thomas Klvti: "The colour microfilm as preliminary stage of digital maps" (http://ubeclu.unibe.ch/stub/ryhiner/ry-micr1.html) With kind regards Dr. Thomas Klvti Projektleiter Sammlung Ryhiner Stadt- und Universitdtsbibliothek Bern Postfach CH-3000 Bern 7/Switzerland Fax: ++41 31 320 32 99 Tel.:++41 31 320 32 85 e-mail: [log in to unmask]
