Book Scanning Benefits

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.
