[BCMA] Map Digitization

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

It may also be useful to consider hiring a student to do this work (UVic geography co-op students have digitized maps for numerous organizations.)

The Delta Museum & Archives was able to digitize some historical maps by working with the Engineering Department at the Corporation of Delta. They have a few large format scanners and scanned a few blueprints, historical posters and maps for us, all for free! We have also photographed some of our other historical maps and blueprints at high resolution to help make them available for reproductions. Of course, we still have many more maps that are in need of scanning to help make them more accessible.

Hi BCMA Listserve Members,

I'm curious to know if anyone can recommend a company to digitize large maps and blueprints (preferably in the Lower Mainland or Fraser Valley)?

Thanks for your help,
