What Is School Book Scanning?
School collections can include textbooks, exercise books, logbooks, registers, prize books and handwritten pupil records.
The workflow depends on the type of school book. A modern textbook may suit efficient scanning while a historic exercise book may need archival handling.
School 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.
