Digital Yearbook Archival Bay Area, California

Imagine that archaeologists uncovered a new historical site, something absolutely earth shattering that changes everything we thought we knew about the evolution of society. This could be bigger than finding the Lost Ark, bigger than Atlantis. And yet, we have nothing more than our interpretation of what we see to go on when it comes to explaining what this discovery is. How much easier would this be if the people who lived there, thousands of years before, had left some sort of directory? Something that showed who lived there, what they did, where they gathered.

Something like a yearbook. A yearbook is a publication that simply shows who and what happened in a place for the last year. Many libraries and schools already perform their own yearbook archival services, keeping records going back as far as they can of all the alumni and former staff and faculty that have been a part of the establishment’s history. Other businesses may have yearbooks for their staff or events that they have done; if for no other reason than it offers you a way to look back at your success, a yearbook archival service is an excellent idea.

There are multiple ways to archive yearbooks. The physical books can be stored in locations that are designed to protect books from the elements. These places are great for backlogs of old yearbooks that may already be weak in the binding or falling apart. Another method is the digital yearbook archival service, which allows you to upload yearbooks to digital storage. This could also be a great idea for older yearbooks, so that the information could be accessed without disturbing the book. Many companies are even choosing to create their yearbooks in digital format in the first place.

If you’re considering yearbook digitizing services but have been holding off out of fear it’s just not in the budget, it’s time to look at the cost-effective side of the service. For most businesses budgets are the deciding factor in the decision-making process, and a school or educational institution is similar in that it has a budget it needs to stick to. With that said these yearbook digitizing services are becoming more and more commonplace in the education system and that’s no coincidence. These institutions aren’t just ignoring their budget, instead they are seeing the cost-effective side of this digital option.

Here’s the question you may be facing right now: what are the costs involved in reprinting a yearbook versus digitizing it? Now the answer may surprise you, but in most cases it’s cheaper to actually digitize the book. Keep in mind once you digitize it, you won’t have to worry about it getting lost, worn, or ruined because you will always have that digital copy. That means there won’t ever be a need to re-digitize it, unlike printing where there is no guarantee it will be the one and only time you need to reprint it.You could also take that same volume of books and ask to get a quote on having them reprinted / printed, this is another great way to compare the cost.

What is the difference between destructive and non-destructive scanning options?

Destructive scanning involves removing the spine and cutting the pages, which means the original book is not returned or if returned, with unbound pages. Non-destructive scanning uses overhead scanners to digitize books page by page without damaging them, allowing the original books to be returned intact.

How does the OCR conversion software benefit the digitized yearbooks?

The OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software makes the text within the yearbooks searchable. This means users can easily find names, years, ceremonies, organizations, or specific information by searching for keywords, improving access to information.

I contacted eRecords for a small-scale scanning job. Although they usually work on large projects, Pankaj was more than willing to help with what I was looking for! The scans that came back were high quality, and delivered in a timely matter. eRecords was also the business that quoted me the most competitive price. I would definitely recommend - Pankaj is knowledgable and a great collaborator to work with on meeting any scanning service you may need.

I have used eRecordsUSA on three separate occasions and each job was performed exceptionally. All files scanned at high resolution, organized, and returned in a timely manner. Pricing was also very reasonable for such time-intensive work. Management was also very good with their communication.

I am a digital nomad that owns zero paper, so having all of my files in Google Drive is imperative. With Google's OCR (Optical Coherence Recognition) I can now find my files at lightning speed. ie - I search for [deed], [roof repair], [assessment], etc. and all relevant files "automagically" appear.

EXCELLENT quality work. VERY professional. I had some kids art work scanned high resolution that was too large for the scanners at copy shops. eRecordsUSA did a fantastic job and I highly recommend them.

Erecords scanned 56 bankers boxes of legal case files and other professional documents for me. This was a particularly difficult and complex job because, in naming files, they had to work from both a written file inventory and the file names on the folders themselves and use a consistent file naming protocol that Erecords and I agreed upon. They did an outstanding job of following this file naming protocol and organizing the documents in digital form to create the file structure that I intended. This job was also difficult because of the variety of page sizes and the age and condition of some of the documents; they managed to accurately capture everything. They also made the job easier for me by picking the documents up at my home. Pankaj at E records was invariably courteous and helpful and spent the time needed with me before the job to develop a digital file structure to make the documents most useful. I highly recommend Erecords for document scanning.

I chose eRecords to scan over 2000 pages of yearbooks and several hundred photos from the early 90's to early 00's. I was not disappointed. They were one of the few locations in the Bay Area that I contacted that let me drop off and pickup the material in person. The JPG and PDF scans that they sent me were extremely high quality and OCR'd the yearbooks so I can search for text. They were able to repair one of my yearbook's bindings to the point where I couldn't even find the repair! This place is professional and good value for what I received. If something ever happened to my irreplaceable yearbooks and photos I know they're digitized now and backed up to multiple locations on my network and cloud! Highly recommended, Pankaj and eRecords!

I found eRecordsUSA on an internet search and contacted them to inquire about scanning to PDFs a set of some six hundred old, faded, tattered pages of an underground/community newspaper I co-founded fifty years ago. I lucked out on this first call, finding a most professional, efficient, accessible, top notch company to help me archive my newspaper despite these trying, pandemic times.
