Introducing Access Scanning
What is Access Scanning?
Access Scanning is an alternative level of digital imaging services that employs moderated specifications and simple, inexpensive processes to drastically
reduce the cost of digitizing your collections. Access Scanning primarily serves "access" rather than "preservation", allowing you to quickly and
inexpensively make large numbers of documents and images available to online users.
Lower Cost = Greater Acess
We've made the digitization process easier and more affordable, so now you can make greater numbers of documents and images viewable online and attract exponentially
greater numbers of users to your collections by offering them the breadth of content they've come to expect in the online world.
Access = Visibility = Success
Today, easy digital access is expected and demanded by your end users. Expanded access through digitization provides the community visibility, public
support, and private support that in turn ensure the long-term survival and funding of your archive. Our access-oriented scanning services are key
to opening up visibility for your collections. Visibility that helps you sustain and preserve the objects they contain.
