Frequently asked questions
Can bound registers be scanned?
Yes. Bound registers can be reviewed and scanned with suitable handling, page sequencing and output rules.
Can fragile documents be digitized safely?
Fragile records can often be digitized, but the process depends on paper condition. Tyrus reviews the archive and flags handling limitations before execution.
Can old books be converted to searchable PDF?
Searchable PDF may be possible when print quality and language support allow reliable OCR. Otherwise, image PDF or PDF/A with indexing may be better.
Do you provide archive metadata?
Yes. Metadata can include book title, register number, department, year, page range, subject and record category.
