If anyone is interested one of the founding members Dewey Halpaus has a podcast called Peer Pleasure Podcast.
He interviews other bands and often speak about his time touring and going through the music industry. I believe in addition to the podcast he also works a tradesman in Oregon.
Great Idea for Anyone who just needs to point people in a direction to find them.
I work with scanning documents for business purposes. I went to sales meeting with a company called Biels, which has now been bought and is called Instream.
While at this meeting they were displaying a book scanner that you could place in the machine, it would flip each page then take a high resolution photo, and had options for OCR software wihich would read the entire page and present any questionable words or characters the OCR could not identify. This machine and software was pitched to Museums and large libraries. I would highly suggest asking a local Museum or Library if they have any hardware that would be able to archive the books your describing.
I tried searching for the exact machine but I could not locate it, I want to say Canon was the vendor.
