The University of Keele holds millions of aerial photographs, negatives and prints, from the war years. They have developed special techniques and equipment for scanning large size negs, prints and photomosaics often in poor condition (boxes and boxes are stored in a damp basement!). They need to extract sufficient detail to make it possible for experts to find bomb craters which may still contain live ammunition and be a hazard to modern construction.
They have refined their technique and equipment and may now offer a specialised scanning service to outside clients. At any rate they are friendly and knowledgeable and passionate about preserving items of heritage and I am sure they would offer advice, ring me if interested in a contact name & number. regards Brenda Marks Library Manager Skyscan Photolibrary Oak House, Toddington, Cheltenham GL54 5BY UK Tel: +44 1242 621357 Fax: +44 1242 621343 =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
