What Is Register Book Scanning?
Registers are bound record books used by organisations, churches, schools, clubs and businesses.
Registers may contain names, dates, signatures, stamps, indexes and annotations. Sequence and completeness are important.
Register book digitisation
The right method depends on the physical construction, condition and purpose of the book. Non-destructive capture keeps significant originals intact; destructive capture can be appropriate for approved modern production work.
