<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">I received a call from a patron here in Bowling Green who is wanting to have several family oral histories on audiocassette digitized. Normally we only provide digitization services when the
items in question are also being donated to us (or loaned to us for digital transfer and acquisition). Based on the patron’s description of the oral histories, they’re not actually something that would fall within our collecting scope, so we’re unable to
digitize them for her. To soften the news, I’d like to provide her with some digitization vendor recommendations, and while I’ve worked with several myself, I’m realizing I don’t actually know of any who are within a reasonable driving distance to her (I
don’t think she’d want to ship them). I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for quality digitization vendors who are based in northern or central OH?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
