I have recently learned that the Huntington Library won't allow  
scanners.

This is a problem. No researcher can afford to pay for them to scan  
documents.

This is why god invented grad students. Go forth and scan.

Is this a general rule in the archives world?

Is there any type of portable scanner - it has to fit in a carry bag  
- that archivists approve?

Thanks.
