Vancouver Firm Specializes in Scanning Historic Artifacts

Micro Com Systems, a Vancouver-based company, has carved a niche in scanning historic artifacts, including rare books, linen drawings from the 1800s, and even an expensive Italian scarf. Their expertise extends to scanning marriage, birth, and death records from nearly 200 years ago, alongside newspapers from 1910 and computer printouts from the 1970s. While they have yet to scan a stone tablet, their work mirrors the ancient Mesopotamians' intent to preserve information for posterity, albeit with modern technology.

The company's scanning services ensure that historic artifacts are digitized, with all relevant metadata extracted, and the original items returned unharmed. The digitized files are then provided on a thumb drive, a far cry from the weighty stone tablets of ancient times. This process not only safeguards the artifacts against potential disasters like wars and natural calamities but also makes the information more accessible to researchers and the public.

For those interested in preserving historic documents or artworks, Micro Com Systems offers a solution that combines the preservation of physical integrity with the accessibility of digital formats.
