Can anyone please do me a pure favour and scan the glass plates I have?
Of course, one side of the glass has an emulsion on which constitute the
negatives.

As pointed out to me, (which you will have already known, because you
know what you are doing :c)) you will have a scanner with a light in the
lid to project the image as you would with an enlarger. At any rate a
scanner that can scan negatives.

I have 4 glass plates. They are 14 cm x 9cm, about 1.5mm thick. Two are
broken in places, but have pictures on them.

After scanning, you will of course have the neccessary software to
produce positive images and possibly mirror the scanned images. Then, I
think the files will need to be put on CD.

It would be nice of you live near me. I'm near Dewsbury so if you live
in Dewsbury or Wakefield would be great. You might even be a
member of a local club I suppose. Perhaps someone from Dewsbury
Photographic Club. TIA. Rich.

You could try photographing them on a light box and reversing them in your
picture editor.
