ARCHIVE & DOCUMENT DIGITISATION
Index Card Digitisation in Oxford
Duplex scanning and searchable OCR for archive index-card collections.
Professional Index Card Digitisation
We duplex scan index cards so that both sides of each card can be captured as high-quality digital files. OCR can also make the collection keyword searchable, improving access to large archive and reference-card collections.
Digitising Index Cards for Archives & Organisations
Index cards have been used for recipes, contact information, research notes, project records, presentation notes and many other forms of organised information. Digitisation helps reduce repeated handling of the originals while providing practical digital access.
Capture methods are agreed before work begins, with archival digital outputs prepared to agreed specifications. We can supply TIFF, JPEG/JPEG2000 and PDF/PDF/A outputs, with searchable OCR where required.
Suitable for: NHS and healthcare records, pharmaceutical collections, local government, libraries and museums, educational collections, engineering and nuclear records, heritage trusts, charities, housing associations, private archives and consumer collections.
