What Is Architectural Document Scanning?

Digitising architectural drawings, project records and planning documentation.

Digitising architectural drawings, project records and planning documentation.

What can be scanned?

Architectural plans, elevations, sections, specifications, schedules, planning documents and project correspondence can form part of a digitisation project.

Why use large-format equipment?

Many architectural records exceed ordinary scanner sizes and need full support during capture.

What about colour?

Colour may carry annotations, planning information or design meaning and should be retained where it is significant.

Can drawings be indexed?

Yes. Project number, drawing number, revision, date and other metadata can be used where available.

Oxford Duplication Centre — Practical Expertise

Document digitisation should be designed around the physical characteristics and information requirements of the source records. Where documents are fragile, bound, oversized or otherwise unusual, specialist capture methods are preferable to forcing them through standard production equipment.
