PROFESSIONAL BOOK DIGITISATION
Efficient, High-Quality Book Scanning
Oxford Duplication Centre provides professional book scanning services for institutions, businesses and private clients across Oxfordshire and the UK. We digitise published books and multiple-copy collections for preservation, reprinting, distribution and everyday access.
Where appropriate, books can be guillotined and bulk scanned using automated sheet-fed equipment. This is an efficient and cost-effective option for duplicate copies where special handling or preservation of the original binding is not required.
Output can include searchable PDF/OCR, TIFF, JPEG, Microsoft Word and e-book formats. Projects can be prepared to BS 10008 requirements where legal admissibility and controlled digital records are required.
