It is! Well spotted.
The purpose of this blog is to allow me to record some of the archiving work I do both locally, in my village, and for retro-computer systems in general (although with an Acorn/BBC slant).
If you're looking to find my uploads then the site I upload the most to is the Internet Archive.
Here are a couple of examples;

Scanning-wise I tend to use an HP OfficeJet Pro 9120e Series for A4 documents (of which there are a lot!), photos, and other less than A4 or hand-written documents. This works quite well and also works in a very automated way. I can often just set it going and do other things.
Of course, there will always be things that aren't suitable for feeding through a scanner. In this case, I have the Scanner Pro app on my iPhone. I have used this for years and find it incredibly useful for scanning books and odd-shaped items.
And finally, I use Google Photoscan for photographs that either don't or can't work on the flatbed scanner.
The phone I use is an iPhone 15 Pro Max and is capable of capturing some really detailed large images. Like this;
This is a village map from 1967. Hopefully, you can see the details!
