[PADG:968] Re: vendors converting microfilm to digital

["Weber, Robert" <rweber@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lisa,

We have been using FedEx/Kinko's for all of our digitizing, including
converting from microfiche, and we're quite happy with the low cost and
the quality. They subcontract the scanning, actually, with a company
here in Virginia, but they might be able to do the same in Missouri for
a good price.

Cheers,
Rob

Carleton used ColorMax in Paynesville, MN to digitize (with OCR) our 
student newspaper.  Most of the work was done from hard-copy, but some
from 
microfilm.  We are very happy with the quality of the work.  They are a 
small company, but seem to know what they are doing.
