If you are going to do a lot of this, try some Lowel Tota-Lites. They 
are designed for the film industry and are very stable over a long 
period of time, also have no "hot spot" like standard tungsten 
lights. I have used them to photograph all kinds of artwork.

I think they have done away with the DP (Direct Processing) kits that 
used to be available from Koda for reversal processing of B&W films 
into slides. These produced a very nice B&W slide, and could be 
selenium toned for color change and contrast.

Ektachrome 64 works well, but you have to do some CC Filtering to get 
rid of color casts.
