Vendors for Archival Digitization Projects

[Hegley, Douglas]

I assume that many of us are increasingly involved with projects that require the digitization of analog formats for archival purposes, typically including the need to provide at least some cataloguing for each asset.    My question to the list:  Has anyone found a vendor with whom they have been able to work successfully on such projects?  I am most-interested in the following: - consistent quality of the digitization efforts - quality and accuracy of the attendant cataloguing - quality of the project management skills of the vendor - costs   (In brief, the next project on the table here is relatively straightforward: scanning paper records - index cards from a large card-catalog - keying in catalog information to identify each new digital asset, delivering the project on-time and on-budget).   While I understand that most of us are unable by policy to "endorse" particular vendors, I am still interested in a few leads so that I can describe the project to a few vendors and then evaluate their proposed solutions.   Thank you, Douglas Hegley The Metropolitan Museum of Art 1000 Fifth Avenue New York, NY 10028 212.650.2931 douglas.heg...@metmuseum.org .com --- You are currently subscribed to mcn_mcn-l as: rlancefi...@mail.wesleyan.edu To unsubscribe send a blank email to leave-mcn_mcn-l-12800...@listserver.americaneagle.com
