What We Scan

Our document scanning service complements our photo scanning by preserving irreplaceable papers: newspaper articles, birth certificates, immigration papers, diplomas, marriage licenses, wedding invitations and property deeds. Your files are delivered on your disk so you can copy them to your computer or print as needed.

Natural-Looking Results

If your old newspapers are yellowed with age, we can restore them toward a more natural tone. Enhancement and basic Photoshop work are included with scanning—no surprise fees.

Pricing

Standard prices apply to documents as they do to photos—price depends on size. See examples here: pricing examples.

Newspaper Article Scans

Pieced-together articles (e.g., multiple clippings assembled into one image) can take additional time compared to a single large photo. In those cases we bill by time: $10 per 15 minutes of work (subject to change). We’ll be fair—but we do need to cover the extra editing time.

Restored newspaper clipping scan with improved readability
Yellowed clippings can be corrected for easier reading.

Our Approach

We treat your documents like our own. During scanning, shadows and dark areas can compress—our Photoshop experts reopen shadow detail for readability. In rare cases we may convert severely color-shifted items to black & white or sepia to provide the most pleasing result.
