Educational institutions from elementary schools to prominent universities are choosing to protect their legacies using yearbook scanning services. Many of these organizations look to eRecordsUSA to have their yearbooks scanned and digitized.
Advantages Of Yearbook Scanning Services
- Preserving the Past β Many schools choose to keep at least one copy of every yearbook to create an archive of the schoolβs history. However, these books will likely become worn, lost, or even vandalized over the years. The high-quality yearbook scanning service provided by eRecordsUSA will keep all of the photos and text in great condition. The digital images will look identical to the originals, allowing you to print additional copies or allow electronic access to the books for many years to come.
- Easier Access to Information β At eRecordsUSA, we utilize the leading OCR conversion software available. This software recognizes the text within your yearbooks and converts images into searchable text. When students, alumni, or faculty want to find a particular name or organization in the electronic yearbook, they can search for specific words and be guided directly to the page they need.
- Cost Efficient Solutions β Yearbook scanning services are a very affordable investment, and much less expensive than yearbook reprinting services. eRecordsUSA offers very competitive prices that are based on the number of yearbooks to be scanned, and the number of pages in each book. Special bulk rates are available.
Educational institutions from across the USA turn to us for their yearbook scanning solutions year after year. This is not only because we offer high-quality scans at inexpensive prices, but also because of our dedication to professionalism and customer satisfaction.
We appreciate that you are trusting your staff with the memories of your institution, and great care is taken to not only produce great scanning results but also to protect your original books.

The OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software makes the text within the yearbooks searchable. This means users can easily find names, years, ceremonies, organizations, or specific information by searching for keywords, improving access to information.
