[BCMA] Scanning and copying equipment

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hi there, we purchased the Epson Perfection V750 Pro for a recent
digitization funded project.  
It comes with several format frames, slides, large and small film etc.  It
also includes PhotoShop Basic software which has many great catalogue
features, several prints to a page with the title printed below each photo.
This Basic PhotoShop software is easier to use than the full version. The
only thing I would like different would be a larger scan bed but the
software makes it easy to stitch photos together. The cost with taxes was
approx $850.  We are very happy with the quality and speed.  You need to
make sure you have the computer processor speed to match. Check out their
web site.

*The Ucluelet and Area Historical Society* are interested in what the 
BCMA membership recommend for scanning of photos and papers for archive 
and reproductive purposes.
 
We have a small dedicated group but not the appropriate hardware and 
software.
 
What are your recommendations for computers/laptops and the affiliated 
software?
What are your recommendations for the best scanners/printers.
 
Your input is greatly appreciated.
