        I've got an 80-page document that I need to scan for a digital 
archive.
 I wonder if y'all could suggest:

a) what file format is best for this purpose?
b) what image density is appropriate.

This is a petition, so there's printed text but also all kinds of crazy
handwriting.  We want to archive it accurately, but also be able to put
it up on the Web.  We'd probably want a denser file for the archive and
reduce it to 72 dpi for a Web version.

I'm guessing that .jpg would be a good format, but I don't know that
much about this sort of thing.  What is the collective wisdom?

Thanks!

Thomas
