Micro Com Systems, a Vancouver-based document management company, has announced its specialized scanning services for historic museum artifacts, demonstrating a commitment to preserving cultural heritage through advanced digitization techniques. The company has successfully scanned a range of unique items, including linen drawings from the 1800s, an expensive Italian scarf, and thousands of rare books, showcasing its ability to handle delicate and valuable materials.
According to the company, scanning historic artifacts involves meticulous care to ensure the original items remain unharmed. Micro Com's team extracts relevant metadata and provides digitized files on a thumb drive, making archival records easily accessible. The company has also scanned marriage, birth, and death records from almost 200 years ago, as well as newspapers from 1910 and computer printouts from the 1970s, highlighting the breadth of its capabilities.
Drawing a parallel to ancient data recording, Micro Com notes that the oldest known stone records date back to 3350-3000 BC in Mesopotamia, emphasizing that the drive to preserve information is timeless. The company argues that digitization is the modern equivalent of ancient record-keeping, allowing future generations to access historical data despite threats like wars, earthquakes, and volcanoes.
Micro Com Systems, established in 1975, offers a comprehensive range of document management solutions, including document imaging, archival and book scanning, medical imaging, OCR, large format scanning, microfilm scanning, aperture card scanning, enterprise report management, high-speed printing, and capture software and equipment.
