Lu, I am currently the Digital Imaging Project Manager at the Smith College Museum of Art. We received a grant from the college to fund the digitization of 5,000 images in the course of a year and a half. Since I am dedicated solely to the project, I supervise a contract photographer, log in all slides and transparencies into our collections management database (Multi-MIMSY 2000)and work with a scanning vendor. In less than a year we have scanned over 5,400 images! We have a hi-res archival scan (tiff) as well as several derivative images (jpegs)for each object. The project took a while to get off the ground but once we had established a routine we scanned 200 images per week. If you would like to discuss this off-list, please contact me. Good luck!
