What Is Minute Book Scanning?
Minute books contain formal records of meetings and decisions made by organisations and institutions.
Minute books may be handwritten, typed or mixed. Their value often depends on completeness, chronology and context.
Minute 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.
