Archival records are amazingly diverse in terms of their variety and types. You can find books and ledgers, postcards, posters, images, documents and so much more within any collection of archival records, and not all of these items need to be part of a permanent, physical collection. Records are some of the most common in this group, and if you struggle with an enormous range of paper records, archival record digitization services are a good option.

Archival Record Digitization Services

What these services can do is to turn those reams of paper records into easily accessed and searchable digital archives. As an example, you may have a decade’s worth of newsletters from a specific organization or paper registrations for something as mundane as dog licenses. The physical records are of no actual value, and so you can opt to use archival record digitization services to have such items scanned and then stored to the digital media of choice, or to the cloud.

Of course, you may have records you need to retain but do not wish to have repeatedly handled by researchers or others. You can also benefit from digitizing those documents, enabling people to use them, search them and even have copies without ever touching or accessing important originals.

When looking for a provider, be sure that they offer the full scope of services you will need. That includes accepting documents on a regular basis to enable you to slowly transfer the records to digital archives. Also, be certain they can pick up documents if you do not want to ship, and that they scan carefully should records need to be retained afterward. They should also return items or destroy them if needed.

    What Our Client Says

    •   I contacted the eRecordsUSA team for a project scanning several dozen journals. I was a little nervous at first about shipping irreplaceable personal records for someone else to handle, but from the first call with Pankaj it was clear I was in excellent hands. From start to finish I've never experienced such thoughtful, responsive customer service, and the final color scans I received are sharp, accurate, and perfectly organized. I am thrilled to have over a decade of journals scanned and preserved so beautifully. eRecordsUSA will be my first call for any future digitizing needs.

    •   Excellent digitization services! Swift email replies to any questions (usually within hours if not minutes).

      My three 300+ page hardback books were very professionally scanned into PDFs and they look stunning!

    •   Pankaj and crew at eRecordsUSA did a beautiful job making scans of our old family archives that span four generations. Now I have thousands of neatly organized .pdf files with crisp & clear scans of my family's handwritten letters, photos, slides, and fragile documents from 100 years ago. I've been daydreaming about this project for over a decade, and I'm very grateful to now have it so successfully completed.

    •   I had an unusual requirement that involved scanning a 4' by 8' document on a roll. The staff did an excellent job capturing all the information, using several approaches to ensure the best reproduction. I'm grateful for the time the staff took to explain the options. I'm very pleased with the result.

    •   My experience with E-Records USA and their dedicated team was beyond reproach. They kindly hand held me through a long term project of digitizing every photo album, framed photo, and CD accumulated for over 30 years. They showed me what they could do back in 2022 and waited patiently until I was fully ready to make the project happen in 2024. I know they have many other clients, but I always felt like I was priority and important. They never shied away from all my questions, concerns, and fairly constant stream of emails. They patiently took me through the whole project and kept me updated informed at every step. This was not inexpensive, but the peace of mind I have that all our memories are now safely stored in a few places and can be accessed by my family at any time is worth it. And I freed up many, many boxes and therefore shelves full of bulky photo albums and framed pictures. It was something I had wanted to do for several years and I am so glad I found a company that was so trustworthy and caring about these invaluable memories. I would work with them in the future without question. They went above and beyond.

    •   They copied my 500 page family genealogy book and created a PDF file so that I can share with other family members. They did a wonderful job at a reasonable price.

    •   Had them digitize my grandmother's daily diary from 1912. It was in a bound journal. Files came out great. My cousins were thrilled to be able to read it. Was done in only a few short days.

    •   My family and I feel so fortunate to have found Pankaj and eRecords USA. We have dozens of family photo albums and with three siblings there wasn't going to be a good way to split them up. The photos were in albums with plastic sheet covers and many of them had writing on the back and/or on the side of the picture on the album itself. We wanted to preserve the handwriting and information about the photo and the actual photos.

      Before consulting with Pankaj my highest hope was to get the photos scanned. What he was able to do went above and beyond what I had hoped for. Not only did he create a PDF each album, preserving the order of the photos and all of the handwriting, but he then provided individual scans of every single photo AND the information on the back at a resolution quality that will allow us print the photos in the future. Not a single photo was damaged and some of them were in albums for over 70 years.

      I can't imagine the patience and perseverance it took to gently handle these hundreds of photos. In addition to the quality of the work, the communication, customer service, delivery times, accuracy of pricing and transparency of the process were top notch. We are so grateful to have these memories preserved for ourselves and future generations. Thank you Pankaj and team!
