I have seen a Canon model demonstrated and I was very impressed with the color quality and functionality. I would look at their product line if I needed such a device. I recollect it was around 10 to 15k.

The ECUA has decided to get a 36 inch to 42 inch scanner/copier/plotter all in one. One of the ones we are looking at is a KIP (see link).<br><br>http://www.copiergeeks.biz/product_info.php?products_id=715<br>

<p><span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">SHRUGGERS (or is it
SHRUGGIES?):</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Recently I travelled over to
the State Library to investigate antique maps of the Pensacola area. To
my</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">chagrin, I discovered
that the State Library has some 3,000 maps dating back as far as 1585! Of
those 3,000 maps only about 1,000 have ever been scanned so that they are
available for outside use.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">The problem is that the
library had formerly sent maps out to be scanned when an electronic copy was
requested. They did this</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">until
one of their valuable maps was lost or damaged (the people I talked to
weren’t sure which), whereupon the</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">State
Librarian decided not to allow the maps out of the Gray Building in the future.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">These maps are extremely
valuable, hence that fiat. The State Archives (collocated</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">with the library in the R.A. Gray
Building) has an 11 x 17 scanner, which does not help for</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">scanning</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">maps that are up to 36 x 40 inches or
larger and may</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">be quite
fragile. Those maps that have been scanned are</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">available online as TIFFs, PDFs and
JPGs. I have successfully imported some of these antique maps into
ArcInfo</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">and
georeferenced them to current maps and/or aerial photos. </span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">In fact, one of these maps, from
1906, is still the</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">legal</span>
<span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">basis for the parcels</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">in the city of Pensacola! </span>
<span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">These maps give the GIS
community a great asset when available.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Since</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">some</span> <span _style="font-family:
"Tahoma","sans-serif"">2/3 of the maps in the collection have NOT been scanned,
I am suggesting that the SHRUG group investigate acquiring and donating a
36” wide</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">(or
larger)</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">scanner to the
State Library. Then,</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">perhaps
with some significant internship time from the</span> <span _style="font-family:
"Tahoma","sans-serif"">SHRUG community (maybe students from the</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">FSU Geography Department, etc.) these
2,000+ maps could be accurately scanned</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">(note
that</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">some of the maps
that have already been scanned need to be rescanned more carefully)</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">and made available to the GIS</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">community, students and the general
public, not only in the State of Florida, but everywhere internet access is
available.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">Any comments or
thoughts? Could we,</span> <span _style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"">perhaps,
discuss this further at the business meeting at the SHRUG Annual Meeting?
Or perhaps one of our vendors could step-up with some help for this?</span><o:p></o:p></p>
