This service is particularly suitable for valuable historical records, private diaries, company minute books and archive collections where the original binding must be preserved. We can work with individual items, small collections or larger archive projects.

* Please note: Due to the nature of bound books, diaries and minute books, not all digitisation is straightforward. A service charge may therefore apply to more complex books. We will advise you before estimate approval.
