Re: [nukkad] help for digitalisation

["Ravi Menon" <>]

Scan, TV much better than photography. With a camera whatever resolution you
will never get a flatbed image of it.
Once scanned you may even be able to use OCR (Optical character recognition)
soft ware which would make it truly digital.
As to binding, most museums / libraries / booksellers / publishers have
people (or contacts/contractors) trained in the art of binding older
manuscripts without damaging the books.
