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?
