ALBUM SCANNING PROJECT
Customer Collection
This customer’s collection consists of three photo heritage albums. One heritage album was in very fragile condition and had most of its pages loose (bottom album in the photo). The second heritage album was also fragile but intact. The third album was unique in that it was bound like a book. The photos in all the albums were glued to the page. The customer did not want to preserve every photo in the albums.
This collection consisted of three heritage photo albums in various styles and levels of degradation.
HERITAGE AND BOOK STYLE ALBUMS
Personal Approach
Because the pages in the two black albums were too large to fit on the standard 8.5″ x 14″ flatbed scanner size most scanning services use in one pass, some services would have shied away from a project of this type, especially because only certain photos were to be scanned. However, our investment in a large scanner that can scan oversized items (up to 12″ x 18″) allowed us to accept this project without hesitation. Additionally, because our focus is on what we can do to help the customer achieve their ideal digital collection, we discussed her goals and “wish list” prior to the scanning process. I suggested that she use sticky notes or colored flags to identify only those photos and pages she wanted to preserve. She loved the idea! We scanned the pages and individually cropped out the desired photos. It was a little extra work to keep track of everything, but it was worth it.
Success Story
Our passion for providing personalized services allowed this customer to get exactly the digital collection desired. Not only could we accommodate the oversized album pages, but we were able to provide scans for only those photos that were meaningful to her and help her save a little money to boot! Whenever we can provide a “to boot,” it’s a good thing.
