Hello Robert,
Actually, you might contact Beinecke's Reprographic Services to request a
digital copy of a single folio of interest in the VMS and see what response you
get. You may be surprised; however, if a digital copy is made available it will
probably be at considerable cost. One point that needs to be taken into
consideration is that Yale has a reputation to protect which might be part of
the reason for the apparent hesitancy in providing photo quality reproductions
of the VMS.
Regards,
Dana Scott

Well, where do we go from
here, then? I don't know anything
about imaging companies (my wife is the
photographer in the family).

I see your point, but at this instant, I'm willing to take
what I can
get.
