Books, Ledgers and Manuscripts will often contain important and valuable data frequently of great historical interest. However such documents are not the easiest to work with, may be in a fragile condition and usually require significant and specialised storage space. Digitising these types of documents will reduce wear on tear on the fragile materials, demand on storage and make the information contained within them more conveniently accessible.
DSS Limited recognises both the value and importance of these bound documents and the information contained within. We use the latest specialist technology to ensure production of the best possible digital images from books, legers, manuscripts, magazines and bound documents whilst making certain that our scanning procedures are kind to your documentation.
Special scanning techniques are employed to make certain of proper scanning even into the folds or spines of bound documents ensuring complete distortion free image capture. Our staff are highly experienced and skilled in handling such items including those of siginificant historical value.
We can scan bound documents upto A1 size and are happy to provide a you with a demo of the outputs produced which include PDF, PDF/A, JPEG, TIFF, PNM, and Multipage PDFs.
Our experts can discuss your specific requirements and come up with a digitisation plan to suit you, including: collection of the documents, indexing to your specification, delivery of digitised documents to you for uploading to your own in-house software or to software provided by us. We can also arrange return of the original documentation, or (depending on your requirements) microfilming of the documents and / or destruction of the originals.
