I'm trying to put together a cost estimate for vendor digitization of a large number of (a) paper documents of varying sizes (b) photos - color and b/w (c) videos - on VHS, Beta, etc. (d) films - mostly 8mm (e) audio recordings - cassettes and reel-to-reel. I've gotten far enough along to realize that consumer prices for small quantities probably aren't a good metric, and that there will be a sharp difference between "routine" scanning of materials that are well-preserved and "remedial" scanning of materials that will require special attention. But I'm struggling to find pricing for large quantities, e.g., 20,000 pages of printed newsletters or 5,000 photos or 300 cassettes. I'm hoping that others who've traveled this road recently can provide some guidance on what vendors are likely to charge. Thanks, Rich
