Digital imaging services
Cott's imaging technicians turn your original books, microfilm, aperture cards, and plats into high-quality digital images, on-site or at our secure Columbus, Ohio facility.
From land and court records to microfilm and large plats, Cott’s imaging technicians produce high-quality digital images from your original books, microfilm, aperture cards, and other media. Decades of experience in material handling and preservation techniques mean your records are handled with care throughout the process.
What sets Cott apart
- Experience — Cott Systems has been an innovator in records management for over 130 years and has digitized records since the technology became available in the 1970s. Our imaging team has more than 50 years of combined experience in document preservation and restoration.
- Superior results — We use high-speed production scanners and image correction to produce sharp, accurate digital images.
- Flexibility — We develop a plan around your schedule and your budget. Since many original documents can’t leave your office, we can work on-site at your facility or complete your project at our secure facility in Columbus, Ohio.
- Quality assurance — Quality control is built into every step, and images are manually inspected before delivery.
- Organization — Your digital images are organized into the file structure your project specifies, so your staff can find what they need.
Handling your records with care
Taking historical records off-site is a difficult decision for any office. While your documents are in our custody, they are handled only by Cott staff, under documented handling practices, at every step. Ask your account executive for details on our off-site document handling.
Since 2008, Cott Systems has scanned more than 35 million documents and created over 70 million images.
