Your library may be have a trove of original source materials at risk in outdated physical mediums.
These portions of your collection take up a significant amount of precious library square footage, but are rarely utilized as a research tool.
Scanned newspapers that were out of print long before the digital age, hand-written journals, monographs, audio recordings, microfilm, local historical records and archival photographs – hidden amidst these resources are stories and insights waiting to be rediscovered. Digitization enables your community to have access to this content on a digital platform.
In addition, preservation is paramount with one-of-a-kind historical content and the ambient temperature of a library is not the ideal environment for old newsprint, photographs or audio/visual recordings.
