At The Scanning Company, we specialise in book scanning services that cater to the unique needs of the preservation of the original item. Our expertise lies in preserving the integrity without compromising the structure of the book.
Unlike regular high-volume scanners that require cutting the original book’s pages, we employ a meticulous approach that ensures the book remains intact throughout the scanning process. Our skilled technicians prepare the books for scanning, carefully preserving their integrity.
In some cases, when cost-effectiveness is a priority, we offer the option to slice the book’s spine during preparation. This allows the pages to be processed efficiently using our high-volume scanners, resulting in reduced costs without compromising the book’s content or aesthetics. However, we understand the importance of keeping the original book intact, and we prioritise preserving its complete form whenever necessary.
Additionally, our book scanning service seamlessly integrates with your long-term storage needs. Once the scanning process is complete, you have the choice to store the books with us or have them returned to you.

Process
How it Works
Collection from Your Premises
Our team collects the books from your location and transport them safely and securely in specialist plastic crates.
Document Preparation
The book’s authenticity is preserved through our book conservation procedures. They include assessing the condition of the book, providing the appropriate support devices, and turn page techniques. All work is carried out by staff trained in document handling.
Scanning and Digitisation
We use advanced scanners to digitise pages, producing high-quality images. Each image is reviewed straight away and rescanned if needed to ensure it matches the original.
Secure Digital Delivery
Once digitised, we deliver the images of your book to you securely and in your preferred format – either on a password-protected memory stick, via a secure FTP site, or through the cloud.
