Hi Elizabeth, I suggest the Epson Expression 10000XL - Graphic Arts or the Epson Expression 10000XL- Photo. These scanners accommodate tabloid-style formats and have an optional accessory for film/slides/transparencies. http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/ProductCategory.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes&oid=-8172 See results in older collections at http://designarchives.aiga.org/ Non-profits should consider the Epson Focused Giving Program or look at similar program sites under community or social responsibility. If you have time, plan in advance, submit a proposal, and a generous gift may arrive at your desk 6-9 months later!
