Documents scanned to BS 10008 standards: Legal Admissibility of Electronic Information

The basics How it works

Our team use equipment that can handle documents up to several feet wide – so whether you’ve got architectural blueprints, engineering drawings, maps, or plans, we can safely scan them in. With a selection of flatbed, drum and overhead (also known as orbital or planetary) scanners to choose from, our team will keep your oversized documents in perfect condition while creating crystal clear copies. Creases and folds will be smoothed out and any damage repaired before scanning. We use high-resolution settings and colour adjustments to accurately capture intricate details. Our experienced staff operate to BS 4971 standards: Conservation and Care of Archive Library Collections; and are screened to BS7858 security standards. The digital files can be distributed and we can support their integration into CAD or GIS software.
