We do not have the capacity to raise sufficient funds to make it a
worthwhile business model.

Put me in touch with instructors at art schools and I'll incorporate
restoration into their curriculum. You'll be surprised how scaleable this
is, particularly if we work out exhibition opportunities.

Restoration isn't the problem for the most part. The English part of
the National Monuments Record contains about 10 million items (mostly
photos I think). Wales and Scotland ad few million more.

That includes a fairly complete public domain aerial survey of the UK
from the 1940s.

We do not have the capacity to support digitalization on that scale.

Are you talking about our capacity or their capacity? The Library of
Congress has 14 million items and has been digitizing since 1994. It's an
ongoing process; they've developed excellent protocols.

Digitizing isn't really that hard. You take a scanner, upload an image, label it, repeat.

Hoi,
I have had the pleasure of getting a tour at the Bibliotheka Alexandrina. It
was impressive and it certainly is not that simple. Certainly not when you
want to have a high quality high volume protocol.
Thanks,
GerardM
