Subject: Request For Help - Business Plan To Digitize Microfilm

I'm looking for samples of business plans for converting microfilm
(newspapers) to digital format.

This is an area that is somewhat new to me.  I've been in contact with
Brian Bell and Walter Lewis at Halinet
(http://www.halinet.on.ca/halinet/demo_home.htm) and may try working
with them, using tiff files and MrSID.

But, I am hoping I can look at a few business plans to get some ideas of
costs, staffing, hardware, etc.

Any help you can offer would be most appreciate.

Yours,
