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
