Archival Photo research -

The National Archives holds hundreds of thousands of photographic images, many of them royalty-free.  These images are best scanned with a scanner attached to a laptop and saved as TIF files which can be uploaded to one of my websites for easy retrieval by the client.  Images can also be photographed, which is faster, but there are persistent problems with glare.  Transparency or negatives 35 mm film can be copied using my Nikon LS5000 scanner and I also own a scanner for copying 4"x 5" format negatives.

Outputs:

High-resolution images like these can be placed on a website for viewing -- so that the client can see what he or she is getting before they are burned to a DVD and mailed.  In emergencies, a few such large files can be uploaded to this website and downloaded by the client. 

Rates:

I charge $290.00 per seven-hour day.  If the work requires additional time at home, this will have to be negotiated.  All copying media, such as photocopy paper, CDs, DVDs and Mini-DVs are paid for by the client.
