scanner for digitizing photo album

[Linda Endersby]

Our museum has a very old photo album that is fragile.  Photos are attached to the pages.  We are wanting to digitize the photos, but flipping the fragile album upside down on a scanner will most likely damage it.  I’ve tried using a camera, but many of the photos have some acid? damage that causes a severe reflection on parts of the photos.

We need high resolution so they can be enlarged for a photo exhibit.  Can anyone recommend a method?  I’ve seen wand scanners but not sure how well they work for enlarging photos.

Thanks!
