As you may recall, I have been pushing to include artwork in the various Project Gutenberg libraries, and thus I am encouraging this with a new scanner I just bought to scan 35mm negatives and slides.
Can it take, or can it be jerry-rigged to take, 35 or 16 mm spools? Or microfiche?
I would very much like to include more artwork, music and other media in the various Project Gutenberg libraries.
In the "other media" category... manuscript material would rock! "Distributed Transcription", anyone?

I should think that any film that could be put into a slide would work, so 35mm spools could work, though I would ask a local expert about the copying process so the original could be preserved. There are also adaptors for 35mm mountings for 16mm film, so I think those could also be used.

No reason not to. Thanks!!! Michael
