Historical and Rare Book Digitization Services
Preserve and Digitize Your Valuable Books with eRecordsUSA’s Historical and Rare Book Digitization Services in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Any methods or materials used to preserve a historical book should be of the highest quality and should be selected to ensure that the preservation methods do not damage the materials or methods used when the book was created. Your book archival services need to understand how to treat books of different eras and printing styles.
All books should be stored in a secure place because the theft of historical documents should never be taken lightly. When you are looking for the right book archival services, you should always ask about their security protocol. Ideally, you want a service that has multiple check-ins and cameras or guards available.
The idea of ethics in such a dry business may seem odd to some, but these books often possess extreme significance for our cultural and social evolution. Your books should always be handled by professionals who understand this and are willing to treat them carefully.

What Our Client Says
-
Mr. Sharma is very professional and friendly. We had eRecords scan our books for archive purposes. The quality of their service is amazing. They are fast and timely. I am very glad that we used eRecords to scan our books and wouldn't hesitate to contact eRecords if we need digitizing/imaging service in the future. Esther L.
12/19/2023 - eRecords has provided an amazing high quality scanning work for our books. Mr. Sharma is very detail oriented and the results are just excellent! Eliana D.
12/12/2023 - I contacted eRecords for a small-scale scanning job. Although they usually work on large projects, Pankaj was more than willing to help with what I was looking for! The scans that came back were high quality, and delivered in a timely matter. eRecords was also the business that quoted me the most competitive price. I would definitely recommend - Pankaj is knowledgable and a great collaborator to work with on meeting any scanning service you may need. Nina P.
3/23/2023 - ERecords USA has provided Fast, Timely, and Amazing quality service for scanning my books and magazines. Ritika, Pankaj, and their Staff are very friendly, flexible, and easy to work with. They go above and beyond in their service. I give them A+++. Rahul P.
2/28/2023 - I have used eRecordsUSA on three separate occasions and each job was performed exceptionally. All files scanned at high resolution, organized, and returned in a timely manner. Pricing was also very reasonable for such time-intensive work. Management was also very good with their communication.
I am a digital nomad that owns zero paper, so having all of my files in Google Drive is imperative. With Google's OCR (Optical Coherence Recognition) I can now find my files at lightning speed. ie - I search for [deed], [roof repair], [assessment], etc. and all relevant files "automagically" appear. Cameron V.
12/09/2022 - EXCELLENT quality work. VERY professional. I had some kids art work scanned high resolution that was too large for the scanners at copy shops. eRecordsUSA did a fantastic job and I highly recommend them. Stephen M.
11/02/2021 - ERecords USA provided a fast and accurate turnaround for a request to duplicate X-Rays. They ensured that copies were accurate prior to payment and went out of their way to produce within a short time. Beth S.
4/21/2021 - Erecords scanned 56 bankers boxes of legal case files and other professional documents for me. This was a particularly difficult and complex job because, in naming files, they had to work from both a written file inventory and the file names on the folders themselves and use a consistent file naming protocol that Erecords and I agreed upon. They did an outstanding job of following this file naming protocol and organizing the documents in digital form to create the file structure that I intended. This job was also difficult because of the variety of page sizes and the age and condition of some of the documents; they managed to accurately capture everything. They also made the job easier for me by picking the documents up at my home. Pankaj at E records was invariably courteous and helpful and spent the time needed with me before the job to develop a digital file structure to make the documents most useful. I highly recommend Erecords for document scanning. David L.
2/27/2021 - I chose eRecords to scan over 2000 pages of yearbooks and several hundred photos from the early 90's to early 00's. I was not disappointed. They were one of the few locations in the Bay Area that I contacted that let me drop off and pickup the material in person. The JPG and PDF scans that they sent me were extremely high quality and OCR'd the yearbooks so I can search for text. They were able to repair one of my yearbook's bindings to the point where I couldn't even find the repair! This place is professional and good value for what I received. If something ever happened to my irreplaceable yearbooks and photos I know they're digitized now and backed up to multiple locations on my network and cloud! Highly recommended, Pankaj and eRecords! David B.
10/28/2020 - I found eRecordsUSA on an internet search and contacted them to inquire about scanning to PDFs a set of some six hundred old, faded, tattered pages of an underground/community newspaper I co-founded fifty years ago. I lucked out on this first call, finding a most professional, efficient, accessible, top notch company to help me archive my newspaper despite these trying, pandemic times. Ted R.
