Document and File Scanning - Oxford's most professional Bureau

We are currently working on a large order with Blue Cross. Pets are at the heart of everything they do. Each year, thousands of cats, dogs, small pets, and horses turn up to their animal hospitals, clinics and rehoming services for treatment and to find them the happy homes they deserve.  The Blue Cross Education and Behaviour Teams prepare future pet owners to take responsibility and look after their pets for life.


Our book, magazine and document scanning services are highly recommended by leading companies. If you wish to discuss a project, please do email cheryl@oxfordduplicationcentre.com or call 01865 457000.


Book Scanning – Digitisation of books and delicate items

This order required 2 different types of digitising. The first was destructive magazine scanning, whereby we trim the bound edge and convert using our fast batch scanners. With our state-of-the-art scanning bureau, we digitised their complete archive of magazines and books, backdated to several decades.  The output was prepared as full colour PDFs with optical character recognition, perfect for o
nline searching and viewing.

The second was non-destructive scanning, whereby each page had to be carefully scanned to ensure the bound book was retained. This is typical for one-off copies and rare books.


Management of Books and Documents

Our services offer clients affordable and highly professional digitisation of all formats of documents and convert these to electronic formats of your choice.  We can effectively scan up to A1, and include fragile documents such as old maps, plans and drawings, artwork, and other specialist media.

Scanned images can be provided in many formats such as TIFF, JPEG or PDF formats, and can be created in B/W, Colour or Greyscale up to 600dpi, with output to USB, FTP, or similar systems.

Non-Destructive Handling

Our state-of-the-art book scanners utilise flatbed and V-cradle technology, ensuring the most delicate of books and media are digitised without harm.

How to Digitise Glass Plate Negatives | Oxford Archiving

The Preservation of The Curnock Glass Plate Negatives Introduction Our services ( @OxfordDuplicat1 )  are highly recommended in the UK for specialist photographic film scanning. Trusted to our company, we are preparing The Curnock glass plate collection, held at Oxford Brookes University and part of the  @MethodistGB collection. Almost all archives possess some type of photographic collection. Many individuals typically think of “photographs” as plastic-based negatives and slides; but these photographic techniques are relatively recent inventions. Prior to the invention of cellulose nitrate film in 1903, photographic emulsions were made on glass supports. These glass supports are typically referred to as glass plate negatives. The term “glass plate negative” refers to two separate formats: the collodion wet plate negative and the gelatin dry plate. Both of these formats consist of a light sensitive emulsion that is fixed to the glass plate base with a binder. Dozens of photog...

Vellum Document Deed Scanning in Oxfordshire

One of our most interesting orders came in today in the form of a vellum property deed dating back nearly 200 years. We were asked to prepare a digital copy so our client could preserve the original. After assessment we decided on which scanner to use and scanned the deed to a high quality Archival TIFF file before applying post production tone and sharpening. The results were stunning and a wonderful image produced. Interesting fact:  To ensure you could prove a duplicate copy, some deeds had a defined curved wave cut out at the top. This meant the original's replica could be matched 100% to the original, safeguarding fraud. What is vellum? Vellum is prepared  animal skin or "membrane", typically used as  a material for writing or printing on, to produce single pages, scrolls,  codices  or books. The word is derived from the  Latin  word  vitulinum  meaning "made from calf". Typically deeds are folded and stored. Alth...

Preserving Family Memories - caring for your heritage

Memories  are an important part of all our lives. Old letters, photographs, scrapbooks, slides and negatives, glass plates, cine film, audio-visual tapes and many other things help us to recall our past and the history of our family and communities. All of these things, however, are subject to decay and eventual destruction if they are not cared for properly.  Oxford Duplication Centre in Kidlington can support all our clients with digitisation of all consumers, corporate and heritage scanning and digitisation.  Please do email cheryl@oxfordduplicationcentre.com or contact us 01865 457000 to discuss your project. Letters, Diaries, Books and Documents.   Many families preserve letters, diaries, or other written documents in which family members discuss their life and times. World War II remembrances have led many families to look for a relative's carefully stored letters. Other families have saved newspaper clippings of important family events, such as the announcemen...
