What is the process of scanning newspapers?

The first step in most newspaper digitization projects is to scan the original newspaper pages (or microfilm of the originals) to produce digital images. After Old newspaper Scanning, you can back them up to Protect and Safely Store Your Files. Newspapers are considered oversized documents , ranging in size from A1 (84cm x 59cm) up to approximately 1.5 x A0 (150cm x 100cm).Moreover, the quality of the paper is thin.

Scanning newspaper requires equipment that can produce higher resolution images or you will be left with grainy, dark, unreadable text.

Do you have to scan the whole newspaper?

The designing of newspapers is done in sections. It has classifieds, ads, articles, daily news, and so on. Normally, important data is archived. So you can select the portions which you like to scan and inform the service provider to create a digital copy of them.

If you plan to scan the whole newspaper, even that can be done easily. The scanning process partially or whole requires understanding and teamwork. So hire newspaper scanning and digitization services that are already doing such tasks.

Testimonials

We needed to have notebooks scanned and eRecordsUSA did just that in no time. The final file was more polished than I expected considering the notebooks had to remain intact. If you need a professional service with a quick turnaround time at very reasonable prices, I highly recommend eRecordsUSA.

I had a box of fading Newsweek and freelance clips. eRecordsUSA did a great job digitizing them. They look great, are searchable, and are conveniently located on one disc rather than in a haphazardly organized box. I recommend eRecordsUSA to any journalists and to anyone who wants to organize their office/life!

As a member of the Sequoia Audubon Society of San Mateo County, we asked eRecords USA to scan old newsletters into PDF searchable files. They successfully scanned 2,853 pages representing 421 files. The newsletters were scanned in B&W at 400 dpi. Prior to beginning the project, eRecords USA provided us with a written estimate. They initially estimated the project to take 4-6 weeks but the project was completed in just 2 weeks. During my initial meeting with eRecords USA, Sharma took the time to ...

I am a happy repeat customer for over 3 years now! eRecordsUSA scanned all my course readers so I could go to class with my ipad instead of a heavy backpack full of paper.

I found eRecordsUSA and have been extremely pleased with the work they did, and are doing, for me. I gave them numerous unorganized boxes of genealogy records, miscellaneous documents of all shapes, sizes, quality, and kind, family photos of various vintages, even yearbooks from 1917 and 1918. They have efficiently, and very importantly, created quality scans of all the documents. For the books, they returned the books unharmed. The quality of the scans of photos from nearly 100 years ago, an...

ErecordsUSA was great! They provided us with high quality document scanning and printing and everything was done on time even when we gave them a tight window to work with. Everyone is very friendly and professional and very easy to work with it. They communicated with us very well and got all our scans done in time. I highly recommend eRecordsUSA

I can't imagine a better Newspaper scanning service provider than eRecordsUSA. They are fantastic! We had them scan our bilingual newspaper, El Tecolote, and it was not an easy job because in the early years of our publishing (1970s), the reader flipped the newspaper to get one language or the other. This job required a lot of careful work on the part of the eRecordsUSA staff. I honestly think this company beats every other scanning service in regard to quality and price. Super nice people too!

Georgiana H

eRecordsUSA provided a great Magazine Scanning job in several missing issues of a magazine in two languages, and then applying dual-language OCR to make the text searchable. The quality of the scans was outstanding. Recommend them most highly.

Jonas D

Our company needed several magazine articles scanned - apparently a smaller than usual Magazine Scanning project for these guys - but they took it on nonetheless. Some of the pages in the first round of scans were slightly crooked, but they straightened and cropped the problematic pages quickly and efficiently, ultimately delivering great scans. The original magazines were returned in perfect condition.
