At eRecordsUSA, scanning fragile books isn’t just about turning pages into pixels—it’s a process rooted in preservation logic, physical care, and archival fidelity. Our preservation-first protocols, aligned with FADGI and National Archives guidelines, are tailored for rare books, manuscripts, and bound volumes of historical value. From initial condition assessment to secure digital output, every step supports both long-term preservation and modern accessibility.

Whether you’re preserving a single heirloom or digitizing an entire archive, eRecordsUSA offers fragile book scanning solutions tailored to your audience, purpose, and preservation goals. Our services are trusted across San Francisco, including the esteemed historical Golden Gate Bridge, and by families, archives, and businesses who value the protection of historical and cultural memory.

For over two decades, eRecordsUSA has been a trusted partner in the San Francisco Bay Area, serving academic institutions, private collectors, and government agencies. Our fragile book scanning lab is located near the Civic Center, within reach of iconic locations like the San Francisco Public Library, UC Berkeley, and the Golden Gate Bridge.

We proudly support organizations across neighborhoods including Mission District, Nob Hill, South of Market (SoMa), and Presidio Heights. Whether digitizing for Stanford University, local archives, or museums in North Beach, our team combines local responsiveness with national-quality standards.

Our 20+ years of experience mean we understand the unique preservation needs of San Francisco’s diverse institutions—from earthquake-prone architecture to coastal humidity exposure.

With more than two decades of experience in archival-quality document and book scanning, eRecordsUSA is a trusted partner for libraries, museums, academic institutions, and private collectors seeking non-destructive fragile book scanning. Our process is carefully engineered to protect the physical condition of rare volumes, antique manuscripts, and brittle bindings while producing high-resolution digital replicas in TIFF, PDF/A, and JPEG2000 formats.

Using cradle-based V-shaped scanners, flatbeds with no glass pressure, and white-glove handling, we digitize even the most delicate materials without risking spine damage or paper loss. Each scan is OCR- and ICR-enabled, ensuring searchable content across languages while preserving visual and textual fidelity.

Every project includes metadata embedding, content indexing, and customized file structures that support digital libraries, archives, and institutional repositories. We operate under strict confidentiality with NDA support, chain-of-custody documentation, and compliance with FADGI, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) standards standards.

Whether you’re preserving centuries-old religious texts, digitizing personal memoirs, or converting a university’s historical thesis collection, eRecordsUSA delivers scalable, secure, and preservation-first scanning solutions—built to protect the past and serve future generations.
