Hello everyone,
Sorry if this isn’t the right place to post this.
I have been given quite a lot of old documents and negatives etc and I’m trying to work out how to digitise them.
I am honestly not completely sure at this point exactly what I have because there is quite a lot of it, but most of it should be related to WW2, and maybe some things from afterwards.
Anyway, I thought it might be nice to digitise them and then put them on a website/FTP server so people can look at them (if that is practically/economically viable?).
My question basically is; what is the best way to digitise this stuff?
For A4 documents I guess I could try and make up a stand or something to hold my iPhone with some bright LED’s?
But what about the negatives? How would I go about digitising those. A lot are from handheld cameras, but I also think there are some from photo recce Supermarine Spitfire’s (so Williamson F52 cameras?)
There might be other things too like large maps etc. How could I digitise them without loosing detail?
I’ve never done anything like this so have literally no idea what I am doing. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
