Free up valueable space
With our scanning and digitisation expertise, you can unlock your valuable space by converting books and archives into digital formats.
Securely protect information
Scan books and historical journals into digital format to protect valuable information in a secure backup in the event of damaged or lost.
Create open access
Share archive information around the world with instant access to books and journals. Unlock access to important research items and historical data.
Instantly search across all books
Using optical character recognition (OCR) technology, books will be fully indexed and text searchable giving fast access to information. Suitable for most file types and available in 50+ languages.
How it works
Removal
Books are packed and collected from your location via tracked, unliveried vehicles. For large-scale, multi-site projects, a collection schedule will be arranged.
Preparation
On arrival, books are logged onto internal tracking systems, then each book is manually prepared for scanning, taking care when handling fragile books.
Scanning
Books are scanned using a specialist V-cradle scanner in B&W or colour to your preferred format, with OCR if required. They are then indexed and structured as per your requirements.
Delivery
Digital books are returned to you via cloud portal access, SFTP or encrypted hard drive. If required, physical books will also be returned upon project completion.
