Good afternoon. We have a collection which consists mostly of black and white photographic prints and are beginning to digitize them using flatbed scanners. However, I spoke to a conservator who advised that they be rephotographed with a digital camera instead due to the intense light exposure on a flatbed. Is this a legitimate concern? Will the scanners cause degradation of the originals, and would this degradation be considerable? Thanks in advance. ______________________
