Oversize Blue Prints

[Finnie, Lisa]

Hi, all!

 

I need to scan or photograph for an engineer a sheet of blue prints that are 30”x36” and 100 years old. The edges are already torn off on one side, so they need to be handled with care. Does anyone have any suggestions? I am waiting to hear from our library on campus that has some type of oversize scanner and our Engineering Department. I can’t use anyone like FedEx because they use a roller feeder for oversized scans. Does anyone still have one of those photograph from above set-ups?

 

Thanks.

What about a place like 

Other than that, I would suggest ansen seale

 or River City Silver.

The latter two are staffed by artists who understand the need to care for original documents

Oh, 

This place also handles high resolutions, scanning of artwork and large objects as well. And they are insured.
