Historical Document Preservation

History - Preserved and Accessible

Digital historical document preservation removes the uncertainty of maintaining a physical collection and making it available for reading and research. Regardless of the current condition, your collection of historical books and documents can be preserved forever digitally.

When perfection matters, trust your precious original documents to Anderson Archival. Each word, each character is carefully examined for accuracy. Our expert archivists usher each document through the digitization process carefully, making sure to preserve the integrity of the originals. Books and papers are scanned and/or photographed, and then, depending on your needs, put through digital cleaning and reading processes.

Once finalized, these pages can be made into eBooks, published on our proprietary digital library software, shared on the Web, or republished physically while retaining historical layout, wording, and punctuation.

Digital Research and Access

One of the worst limitations of a physical collection is that of access. When important documents and history are unavailable to researchers and interested readers, valuable data goes unused and unread. A digital collection ensures not only that multiple people can have access, but that research is facilitated by powerful search tools and the ability to print exact copies of original pages for later reference.

Rather than risking the delicate original pages of a collection to travel, skin oils, and accident, countless researchers can access digital copies safely.

Historically-Accurate Republication

The benefits of digital historical document preservation expand beyond the digital realm. Replicated layouts and word-for-word proofed text can be utilized in physical book publication, retaining the original’s intended meaning.

A Word from
Our Clients

The letters just keep giving us the opportunity to connect. The ability to read them chronologically without the hassle of opening them and unfolding them, and just the fact that we can scale it digitally is the number one benefit.
Rosemary CassieFamily Collection
I didn’t know exactly what I wanted in the way of PDFs or JPEGs. [Content Specialist Marcia Spicer] offered a standard package of PDFs and JPEGs at different scan densities and even TIFFs. That was something that I didn’t know to request, but due to her experience, it was offered. That worked out very well.
Steve BrunkhorstFamily Collection
[Anderson Archival’s facilities] have everything in house. We can just send them to you and [know that] you take good care of the books. They are very fragile, they’re from the 1800s. You scan every page and then send us those files for us to keep on file for ourselves.
Laurel BennettCayuga Centers
We will have replicas made from the digital copies to use for display at our speaking engagements and book signings with our new book… It is important that we stop further damage to the map and showcase our father’s signature and those of his buddies.
