Hi Kelly, I had several sets of blueprints digitized by a local reprographics company in San Diego a few years ago. I don't know how high-res you are looking for, but the resolution was more than sufficient to read all of the detail on the drawings. They were fast and the price was pretty reasonable. I would see if there is a similar company near you.

The AKAG has a collection of a little under 150 architectural plans that range in size and date that the Gallery would like to have digitized to minimize direct contact. I have done some research, but have some up short on the safest and most cost efficient way we can make digital copies of the plans. Has anyone in the past utilized an outside vendor with successful results? I would greatly appreciate any suggestions anyone has. All the best, Kelly Kelly Carpenter Digital Media Manager Albright-Knox Art Gallery 1285 Elmwood Avenue Buffalo, NY 14222-1096 716.270.8235 kcarpenter at albrightknox.org
