I know the group has hashed and rehashed fiche
scanning and I don't
mean to re-open that debate. Obviously fiche scanners exist,
reinventing the wheel isn't cost effective, etc, etc. It's
unfortunate that there's so much manual fiddling to get a good scan,
but those letters are awful tiny.
Ethan, there is a way to easily scan these fiches if a normal scanner
with negative/transparency adapter doesn't fit the bill
A digital camera in front of the reader, page after page, in a darkened
room would do miracles. A professional (high-quality, etc) DV camera feeding
directly a computer in front of the reader also would do miracles.
Anyway, is a slow and troublesome way to scan them. Is there an
automatic scanner?
