If it were me I'd copy them on my Epson V700 or even on my HP all-in-one
printer which, for a veary inexpensive device, does an amazingly good
job of scanning paper/printed images.
Lacking a scanner I'd use your approach but would be leery of the
fluorescent. Not only the color balance but possibly narrow spectrum.
So, I'd take them outside and use the sun as the light source. Just lay
them flat on the ground on a backing board and shoot down on them from
the tripod mounted camera. Another possibility is to attach them to a
wall somehow and shoot from the tripod at the same level. Even shooting
in sunlit shade should be good after correcting for the bluish lighting
in the shade. Another possibility that may be easier work from the
tripod is to set them on a backing board as at from ground level but
tilt the board up about 45 degrees and shoot from the tripod angled down
at 45 degrees. A simple stop near the bottom of the board may keep the
artwork from sliding down the board and not require taping or some other
means of holding the artwork in place.
No polarizers or other fancy stuff required.

I've decided to take Amazon up on their offer to e-publish (Kindle) my
children's book, The Little Crow Who Could Not Caw.
So, I need to convert 30 pages of art and text into j-pegs. Plan to use
the OMZ 50/3.5 Macro on my E-1. Have several tripod/clamp options that
will let me get a stable shooting platform. Have a Polorizer (sp?) and
several light stands. Here's the question:
Has anyone copied artwork , etc. using the 'new' spiral flourescent
bulbs? (I'm thinking cool environment.)
I'm open to all suggestions and/or helpful hints.
Thanks,
Rick
