Digitizing documents grants them a wider audience and helps them to live longer in a new form.
The history of scanning typically focuses on the ways in which the technology has evolved to support businesses. While scanning is quickly becoming a must-have for the modern office, with its ability to revolutionize document management and offer paperless green practices, there are other uses for scanners beyond the 9-5 office.
Whether you need to present to a board, educate students or share on a blog or website, images add a powerful dimension to the work you do. Scanning increases the available possibilities for compatible visuals.
Capturing History
Until recently, historical documents lived only in their original paper form, kept in libraries across the country and accessible only by visiting the documents in person. Scanning has changed that. Digitizing documents grants them a wider audience and helps them to live longer in a new form.
Broader Access
Scanning allows for anyone from academics to history buffs to find and share historical documents in a variety of ways. From PowerPoint presentations to websites and history blogs, new audiences can be reached thanks to the power of scanning.
Endless Possibilities
In addition to teaching opportunities and distribution of interesting history tidbits, digitizing historical documents have other uses. Perhaps an architecture firm wants to give a presentation on a city's history. City parks and history departments might wish to document the city's history through documents that are deteriorating.
