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 Magnetic's Can Destroy Your Family VHS Tape Memories

MAGNETIC DAMAGE TO FAMILY VIDEO TAPES Magnetic tape damage is pretty common. Family tapes store video and audio information in the form of a magnetic strip. The VCR has special heads that can pick up on these magnetic signals and translate them into images and sound that plays on your TV. While magnets are used to write information to the tape, they are also used to erase footage from your tape. Since VHS uses an iron oxide as its formula, this makes them very susceptible to magnetic damage. A tape that has been exposed to magnetic damage is nearly always irreparable. There is no way to recover footage that has been magnetically erased or damaged. The best bet is to make sure you keep your video tapes away from anything resembling a magnet! CLIENT CASE Unfortunately one of our clients contacted us Friday with regard to his family Hi8 video tapes that had been damaged by the magnetic field given off by a mobile phone. He asked whether our company would be able to help recover

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 photographic te

What is Betacam SP? Is it Still in Use?

Sony’s Betamax lost out to JVC’s VHS in the home video entertainment format war in the 1980s.   This didn’t stop Sony from venturing into another ‘Beta’ format, namely, Betacam SP or Beta SP. SP stands for Superior Quality.   Sony introduced this analogue video camera format in 1986.  Before Betacam SP was Betacam which was released in 1982 as the ‘pro version’ of Betamax.   Betacam SP is an enhancement of the Betacam format. The Betacam system was a 1/2-inch tape format (similar to VHS and Betamax) that needed a camcorder, video recorder, and tape. It was targeted at the professional market.    It was meant to be an improvement on Sony’s 3/4-inch U-Matic tape format.   Betacam tapes came in two sizes – Short (S) and Long (L).   Betacam camcorders for consumers could only load the S version.   Only broadcast stations with a complete Beta system could support both the S and L versions through recorders meant for editing.   Betacam offered a horizontal resolution of three hundred lines
