For really good advice, I suggest you contact Murphy Shewchuk at the Nicola Valley Museum in Merritt, BC.   He is a master at accomplishing excellent digital image projects with down home, small museum, means.

Subject: [BCMA] Film Digitization Project

 

Hello,

 

We are considering the feasibility of conducting an in-house digitization project of one of our photograph collections—which primarily consists of 35 mm black & white negative strips, but also includes some prints.

 

The last time that we undertook a photograph/negative digitization project we used a flatbed scanner (which needs to be updated/replaced).

 

Keeping in mind that we are a small institution, with limited budget, does anyone have any suggested favourite scanners for such a project? Also, has anyone used a slide scanner for film negatives? I am wondering if using a slide scanner would speed up the process of scanning negatives.

 

Any insight is appreciated.

 

Regards,
