Capturing your content is a vital step in ensuring optimum control of your data with full searchability. Either through handwritten transcription or Optical Character Recognition (OCR), our specialist technicians are on hand to ensure that nothing is lost.
After converting your data, we can make this accessible online by importing to PastView, or your own collection management system.
