Practical Archivist Recommends

I highly recommend every single one of these books. Not only have I read them all (my own copies, not comps) I have also suggested them to many clients and friends over the years.

The scanners are the closest current models to the ones I currently use.

  1. My beloved Cannon LiDE portable scanner. Powered via your laptop to reduce power cords (bonus!) plus the lid expands so you can scan bulky items without breaking the binding (double bonus!).
  2. The Canoscan I use to scan slides and film.

About the links. The links on this page are Amazon affiliate links, which means you pay the same price you would with any link, but I get a small cut of the total. It’s like leaving a tip in my tip jar, which is awful nice of you. You don’t have to buy *these specific items* to leave a tip, either. Any purchase you make via these links does the trick.
