Morley Archives sucessfully documents a fragile document for all time......

Following on the sucessful test Morley Digital did of the visualiser being used to copy fragile documents and books, in the previous post. 

The image here is Dr Clive McManus using a new visualiser which the Morley Archives group has purchased 

Clive and Ian Scholes tested the new Kitchbai (manufacturer's name) Visualiser using the fast computer which MCA has got in the library.

Clive, said, "It worked a treat and we copied the whole of a fragile archive of ca 160 pages in 2 hours. Next is the jolly task of sorting them out into a PDF."

"This model of visualiser will also record video with pictures and sound."

"We like it very much and think we can do a number of interesting useful things with it."

Modern techniques assisting Morley Archives Group

A great result today at our Monday afternoon session. We were able to engineer a method to archive old and sometimes fragile documents and books using a desk top Web cam system. The camera is a HD Web Cam mounted on a spring arm with build in led light and auto-focus. It plugs into the USB port of a computer and is a plug and play, the built in windows webcam app work without any setting up. 

Clive McManus of Morley Archives said it was just what they needed, it would save a great deal of money by not having to contract the copying out to external companies and saves the already fragile and damaged books from more wear and tear.
