Question:

Where to scan or digitize large genealogy charts?

by  |  earlier

I'd like to scan (or otherwise digitize) and put on a disk, 3 large sheets of paper --genealogy charts hand-written by my late mother-in-law.

Kinko's has quoted a price of about $25 per sheet (eek). I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas about where I could get them more inexpensively.

Perhaps there are other "stores," or offices/etc. that normally scan blueprints, or old maps, or art pieces, or simliar large flat items where I could pay a lower fee. I probably should ask at my local library at least, and perhaps at a local university (but not sure where to start there).

(the sizes of the papers range from 24 x 28" to 24 x 40"--though I could probably make that one less than 40)

Thanks for any ideas!

  1. Your best bet is Kinko's.


  2. In my town, the place that does that kind of thing can be found in the Yellow Pages under blueprinting.  They charge by the square foot.  Although I don't remember the exact rate, papers the size you mention should probably be less than $25.  (The fact that your charts aren't blue doesn't matter.)
