The History of Newspaper Digitizing / Scanning / Imaging Services

Pretty much all newspapers offer a digital version of their publication nowadays, in fact even the small community newspapers are getting in on the trend. So when exactly newspaper digitizing services did become a popular option? Let’s take a look at some of the history in this industry.

Newspapers have been around since around the 1400s, where the first instances of a printed newspaper occurred in the country of Germany.Meanwhile it was the mid-1600s before English speaking countries began to see printed newspapers. They were used for the same purpose then, reporting the news. By the early 1700s newspapers were popping up in America and suddenly being “in the know” was made possible.It wasn’t until the late 1890s though that America began printing them in large volumes for those all across the country.

Over the last century newspapers have certainly had their share of competition in the form of television and radio, and then much later on the Internet. As people began to lean towards these mediums, newspapers realized it was time to change with the times once again.

Today newspapers are offering digital versions of their publications. What this means is that people no longer have to rush out to buy today’s paper, there is no having to carry around the paper itself, no getting newsprint on your hands as you turn the pages and carefully try to keep everything in place, and for those stories you really want to keep you won’t have to clip them out to store away. In addition, newspapers do not hold up well over time, environmental damage begins to occur and before long the pages become too yellow and frail to read. These newspaper digitizing services are also great when it comes to storing back issues in a permanent way.

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...

CCC Legacy

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.

We are very pleased with the scanning work eRecordsUSA, has done for us, especially when they were willing to spend so much time discussing details. We feel that the work you did was better than our highest expectations, on the " Writing of Victor Houteff" PS: We have added a Bonus over the total, because of the good work.

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!
