Default Large Scanner

I am doing a bit of Military Battle Field study and require some large maps scanning and repoducing.

It's the 30th Anniversary of the Falklands War this year and I am assisting The South Atlantic Medal Association (SAMA), they are all old de-restricted maps but I would like a decent reproduction done and the originals can be archived.

Anyone help please local to Cardiff or the M4 corridor.

Many thanks.

Sorry our scanner at work can do bigger than A2 but not as big as that, sorry I think you are going to need a printing company to be able to handle anything that big.

Cheers mate but I need them scanning first. Like I said archive the originals and still have a copy and ability to produce more.

I'll see if I can Google the place in Swansea.

Can't for the life of me remember what they're called. They scanned very large plans for me when I built the house, only charged a couple of quid.
I've google mapped it, it's off pheonix way right next door to the Land Registry office.
