Large-Format, Bound Book and Newspaper Scanning

“Crowley has earned the respect of our publishers who feel confident sending their one-of-a-kind materials to the bureau. That confidence is translating into tremendous growth for SmallTownPapers.” - Paul Jeffko, SmallTownPapers

Crowley Imaging has long been the industry leader in bound-book scanning services, scanning everything from incunabula (printed materials pre-dating 1501) to deed books to original works of fiction. Using only equipment of the highest technology and practicing the most rigid document handling procedures, Crowley Imaging partners with clients to preserve historic, corporate and culturally significant collections.

• The largest known book scanning facility in the United States, Crowley Imaging is primarily outfitted with  Zeutschel brand book scanners
• Zeutschel-engineered scanners, in use by the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, allow for imaging of the smallest bound book to oversize books and newspapers with an open dimension of up to 34” x 48”
• The distinctive ability to deliver oversize book scanning services also provides Crowley Imaging the avenue to easily digitize newspapers, deed books and other large-format material that might require overhead scanning
• Engineering drawings and maps can also be converted to digital format
• Crowley scan operators are trained in material handling and preservation techniques, ensuring that each valuable collection is returned in the same condition in which it was received
• Low staff turnover assures that client material receives the best care – and the most experience – available
• Project management staff communicates with each customer to ensure a thorough understanding of the existing condition of the collection in order to create a solution that will deliver a quality product in a timely fashion at a competitive price
