Hi Craig - thanks for getting back to me on this!
My assignment is a 40+ year accumulation of press clippings, press releases, photos, and other mostly flat paper items that need to be organized, preserved when originals are available, digitized, and eventually searchable.
It is for a major community foundation nonprofit in the Richmond region.
Any advice you could offer would be most welcome.
This is brand new for this organization.
Best wishes, 
Alyson
