Genealogy Records

Genealogy records demand meticulous handling due to their age, fragility, and historical significance. Unlike standard document scanning, where pages are typically in good condition and uniform size, historical records often vary in material, size, legibility, and format. Our process is designed to preserve, enhance, and organize these irreplaceable documents while maintaining their authenticity.

Large genealogy charts, maps, and land deeds are scanned using large-format scanners or stitched together digitally to maintain continuity. Our high-resolution scanning ensures fine details like handwritten marginal notes, embossed seals, and faded ink are preserved for closer examination.

For typed documents, OCR makes records fully searchable, helping genealogists quickly locate names, dates, and locations. For cursive and older scripts, we adjust contrast and sharpness to improve readability while keeping the integrity of the original document intact.

We categorize records by family branch, timeline, or document type, creating a system that’s easy to navigate. If a document has names or notes in the margins, we title the digital folder accordingly, ensuring vital context isn’t lost.
