Digitisation cost calculator

The Digital Library Federation, based in Virginia, has developed a handy digitisation cost calculator that allows you to estimate the up-front costs of digitisation work. Enter the staff costs of people working on your project and, as well as image-capture, you can factor in other processes such as quality-checking and creating metadata. (Ignore the fact that the default currency is US$; there is no need to do any conversion and you can just enter the costs in your own currency.)
