How to Scan an Elephant: Digitizing Awkward Artifacts from Artifact to Zombie

Go beyond the flatbed scanner to digitize awkward artifacts and oversize items. Discover apps, accessories, and expert tips to get better results from traditional scanners, digital cameras, and mobile devices. Full-size newspapers, 3-D objects, photos, and paperwork need different digitizing techniques. Know when to use a camera, scanner, or mobile device, and what settings, apps, and accessories will give the best results.
