What kind of scanner do you use?

[@TonyToneFixMyPhone]

Got some papers here from 42. Gonna see what it do. Woot woot.

[@GergC0521]

Lovely video, thanks. I was wondering about unfolding old documents like newspapers or map. Is there a way to do that without splitting them?

What kind of scanner did you use that was big enough for a sheet of newspaper?

[@GaylordArchival]

We found this resource that hopefully will help you. Ideally, you would want a flatbed scanner instead of a feeder style so it won't damage the newspaper: www.gearhungry.com/best-large-format-scanner/

If you have a tablet with a build in camera they have auto adjust and take high quality photos. You just have to have a flat white surface to place each newspaper page on. Take pictures of front and back of each page.

De-Acidification spray?

[@GaylordArchival]

It neutralizes acid in documents and leaves an alkaline reserve behind. Which is especially helpful with newspapers as they are printed on highly acidic paper. You can find it here - www.gaylord.com/p/PT22.

A good, clear video. Unfortunately it is awash in some of the most inane music imaginable. What is it with KZbin video producers and their love affair with irrelevant, nuisance audio/music! Please, don't mess up your fine teaching work and video production with this musical rubbish. Nobody likes it and it gets in the way.

I like it.

Hi, do you have any office in London? I would like this to be done by a professional like yourself.
