I am starting a project to scan high resolution TIFF images of the old 
photographs (some over 100 years old) in our small school archives. Some 
of the photographs are mounted on crumbling matboard and are quite large. 
Since I must depend upon alumni donations to fund the archives, our 
resources for purchasing equipment is somewhat limited. I plan to use the 
TIFF images for prints and for creating and editing JPEG images for the 
Web. Two questions:

Can someone recommend a moderately priced flatbed scanner for this 
purpose?

What is the standard resolution for scanning reference copies in TIFF 
format?

Thanks to all.
