Originals will usually be scanned at 300 dpi in 24-bit colour and saved as a JPEG. Scans can be made at other resolutions and saved in other formats, including TIFF.

The service is fully managed by Library staff, so just bring your material to be scanned and a USB flash memory on which to save the file. You can contact them in advance by calling 023 9284 3655 or by email at maplibrary@port.ac.uk. All scanning must comply with copyright law.
