Abstract

Large-scale book scanning projects are delivering unprecedented access to the majority of library holdings by giving users unparalleled access to vast collections of books. However, these efforts have focused on typical bound books, which leaves many forms of documentation out of the digitization framework. We present techniques that we have developed to digitize numerous other forms of documentation, including deteriorated manuscripts and photography. These technologies are engineered in conjunction with budgetary and physical constraints often placed on digitization projects.
