Call to Action

“Ink on paper” documents deteriorate over time, especially with handling.

Although it is impossible to completely stop the decline in material composition, it can be slowed by storing these materials in temperature and humidity controlled environments without lights that emit UV rays.

The best solution is to store your precious originals in a safe environment, and use digital facsimiles for everyday use.

Why digitize your archives?

More

Why? Because…

  • Electronic copies serve as an offsite backup of original books and documents.
  • Using the digital versions enable the originals to be kept in a secure environment for long term preservation.
  • Using scanned facsimiles reduces the amount of handling of originals.
  • Search capabilities can instantly and completely find important information that would otherwise be painstaking and time consuming to locate by manual methods.
