Top Questions to Ask in Archival Preservation Scanning Services

Archival Preservation Scanning Service in San Francisco Bay Area, California

There are many reasons that may have prompted you to decide archival preservation scanning services is right for you. Maybe it was a quick and easy decision process, then again maybe you had to mull it over for a while before coming to your conclusion. Whatever the decision process involved that led you to this conclusion, once you’re ready to proceed there are some questions you may want to ask the Archival Preservation Scanning Service provider before you proceed.

>> First off you’ll want to ask questions about how they scan the archival documents. If the items you are having scanned are old, fragile, or discolored you want to be sure the provider doing the scanning uses equipment that is gentle and won’t cause further damage.

>> Ask about what resolution quality you will be receiving. Is it high resolution scanning or low resolution? Low resolution may result in text that is too dark to read, pages that look dark in general, and there will be a sacrifice made to the overall quality when it comes to that crisp look.

>> What kind of format will your digital scan be available in? Obviously you want to be sure it’s a format that works for you and your needs, so be clear on this from the start.

>> Another question to ask before the job begins is what the total cost will be. The last thing you want is to have a rather large and unexpected bill given to you. If possible, get the quote in writing so you can hang onto it should any problems arise.

Using archival preservation scanning service is a wonderful way to ensure your archives stay safe and secure. There is no need to use chemical preservers on your archives, which can be known to damage the pages, and all the work is taken off your shoulders and done by the professionals.

Testimonials

eRecordsUsa digitized 14 years of our organization’s archive of CCC Legacy, newspaper-style monthly journals into test-searchable PDF documents. From the start, I was impressed by their professionalism and interest in meeting our needs. This professionalism and customer focus continued through the completion of the project as we worked through issues with the quality and format of the source mat...

I wanted to create electronic copies of 25 old high school yearbooks. Between my brothers and sisters, we had hard copies of yearbooks covering the years 1946 – 1970 (from when my oldest brother started kindergarten to when my youngest brother graduated from high school). Electronic copies (PDF) allows for easy distribution among family and friends and long-term preservation of the content. eR...

Our school wanted to archive all of our yearbooks, and eRecordsUSA, scanned them beautifully and accurately. They shipped back the 53 original yearbooks promptly. We are quite pleased with the service and product that they provided.

eRecordsUSA, yearbook scanning service is great. Many of my classmates either had not purchased their Senior yearbook or had lost it. I was able to reproduce it on CD for my 40 year High School reunion. All that received a copy were very thrilled and so grateful. I do recommend eRecordsUsa and their yearbook scanning service.

Our company had about 5,000 pages of historical sales records that existed only in hard copy. We need to have these records scanned and imported into excel where they could be filtered, sorted, and subtotaled. eRecordsUsa did this for us in a fast, economical, accurate, and professional manner. I highly recommend them.

I went to eRecordsUSA to have data extracted from scans and photos of several hundreds of tables from archival materials. The price was good, and the quality was outstanding. I\'m grateful that they were able to compile the data in a format to my specifications. eRecordsUSA compares favorably against my previous experiences with digitization with freelancers and other companies, and best of all, t...

I am a happy repeat customer for over 3 years now! eRecordsUSA scanned all my course readers so I could go to class with my ipad instead of a heavy backpack full of paper. Very happy to have found them! Fast and reasonable turnaround time. With OCR, so all my documents are searchable. Thank you, eRecordsUSA!
