Guidelines for Digitizing Old Newspapers

Digitizing old newspapers service in San Francisco Bay Area

Digitizing old newspapers is a great way to store them permanently without ever fearing losing them or damage. Libraries and cultural institutions often need the digitizing old newspapers service.

The process of turning old newspapers into electronic format involves planning the digitization project based on the volume size. Then, the scanning is performed by an experienced staff member of the document scanning services company. Normally, these scanning services will also include what is called an Optical Character Recognition service or OCR. With this service, the newspaper in digital format is now easily searchable from the computer.

It is also important to store the digitized old newspapers in a cloud service or any other online hosting so that they are accessible from anywhere. Especially in the case of libraries, newspaper collections need to be accessible to members in a suitable online format, which also saves costs.

The digital preservation of old newspapers needs to be done with a customized solution that caters to the needs of the specific project. Some old newspapers might have some damage or wear, thus the importance of working with an experienced staff member of a reliable newspaper digitizing service. Digitizing old newspapers into electronic format is the most cost effective and reliable way to store them permanently.

From the start, I was impressed by their professionalism and interest in meeting our needs.

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!
