Apologies for cross-posting, or multiple postings (my original seems to have bounced back to me). I have been asked by my sponsoring body to put together an estimate of costs (equipment, staff and ongoing maintenance) for digitizing our entire collection and maintaining our collection only in digital form (aka no more paper). The issue surrounds our ongoing battle for adequate archival facilities. I was hoping someone else had done this sort of thing so I wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel. Perhaps there is some sort of figure per linear feet of records? I am of course also to put together a list of pros and cons of eliminating paper records. Any help would be appreciated.
