Dear Adam,

You don't mention where you live.  I am guessing near Glasgow from the material you mention, but that is just a guess.  Your location might be important in finding someone who can help you scan/photograph the materials without having to ship them.

Best,
John

Dear everyone.

I am in possession of a book, "The University of Glasgow Old and New". (Partial details: http://special.lib.gla.ac.uk/exhibns/month/july2008.html ). My copy is #22 of 50, I believe there was also a cheaper edition of 150 or 250.  I really want to make this available to Wikipedia, but need help: The book is relatively tightly bound, and the spine gets in the way of the scanner. I need someone with either a scanner that doesn't have a one-inch bit of plastic between the scanner bed and the edge of the scanner, thus cutting off the photos, or a photographer able to take high-quality photos of the photos.

I would also like to donate copies of some very large (A0 and A1) medical posters, from the series "Supplement to the Anatomy of Labour". These are a bit delicate, though not ridiculously so, but I'd be uncomfortable running them through a strip scanner. If someone has a sufficiently large flatbed, or can take photos of them, let's do this.

Please help, I've been trying to get these to Wikipedia for 6 months now.

Thank you,
Adam Cuerden
