When you decide to digitize some part of your collection, whether to mount on the web or republish as a hardbound book, you may also decide to outsource the scanning. Since our involvement in the first phase of the Making of America project in the mid ‘90’s, Northern Micrographics has been the vendor of choice for hundreds of customers.

Over time, digitizing processes and technologies have changed, as have the needs of customers like you. Northern Micrographics has kept up with these changes and, in fact, has spearheaded many techniques to provide you with high quality digital images, however you ultimately use them.

Digital images can be printed to create circulation copies, placed on storage media such as CDs, DVDs or external hard drives for in-house viewing, or mounted on websites for the widest possible access. Just as importantly, scanning a document can help preserve the original, by giving your patrons a digital surrogate to use and allowing the original to be stored away under protective conditions.


You'll see from the Digital Options table that we can take a variety of source documents and develop digital images that meet your needs—whether you need website images or reprinted books, high resolution, uncompressed stored images or word searchable text.

So whether you’re thinking about your first project or you’re a seasoned veteran of many, we can work with you to achieve the results you expect. Talk to an account representative for more information.
