We digitize full pages and provide the high quality image scans back to the client. Our technicians handle these scrapbooks and photo albums with expert care. In almost every single one of these cases, the layout is a deliberate quality of the work, not a byproduct. In these cases, it’s much better to provide scans of the full page so that the time and effort it took to put these treasures together can be fully appreciated. In these cases, providing individual image scans doesn’t do justice to the scrapbook or photo album as a whole. Sometimes these can be old family recipe books accumulated from past generations or a hand made scrapbook with photos of the whole family. Many photo albums and just about every single scrapbook has something special to say just by the way in which it was put together. From there, we can either crop down to the individual images on the page, or provide the client with the whole page as the digital version.ģ.

In some cases, these fragile items are not too fragile for our usual techniques, but in other cases we have to take special measures in order to digitize these precious family memories.
We go over everything with the client before hand so that we can identify beforehand if something is likely fragile and will require special treatment. This way, our clients can hand us their albums and be assured that they will be digitized in exact order, and that the originals will come back looking the same too.Ģ.Some albums are actually too delicate to scan. In these cases, our technicians will diligently remove each photo, scan it and then put it back in the exact same slot it was in before. But this is not ideal if you want to preserve the album in its exact layout after digitizing. Some of our clients are comfortable removing these photos themselves and just giving us the photos to scan. A popular form of album is designed with each photo in an individual clear plastic sleeve. Here are four techniques that we use to convert photo albums and scrapbooks to digital:ġ. We use a human touch from start to finish in order to create a digital version of the photo album or scrapbook that does justice to the original.
