[Digitalarchivists] [sudo-discuss] I want to establish a book scanner at Sudo room or in Oakland

[Jake]

Jacques,

it sounds like Dany is offering the kit to sudoroom, would you be willing to
meet with him to pick it up and bring it in?  I can help you find a place to
set it up and computers and even cameras to get it going.
