Digital Imaging Services for your Specific Goals

From land and court records to microfilm and large plats, we can help.  Our specialized equipment and expert staff will create high-quality images from your original books, microfilm, aperture cards, and other media.  Our skilled technicians have decades of experience in material handling and preservation techniques, so you can trust in our ability to handle your records with care.

Experience

Cott Systems has been an innovator in records management for over 130 years and has been digitizing records since the technology became available in the 1970s.  Our team has more than 50 years of combined experience in document preservation and restoration.

Superior Results

We use the latest Kodak high-speed production scanners, enabling us to achieve maximum quality and image correction that gives you superior digital images.

Flexibility

Cott Systems will work with you to develop a plan that meets your schedule and your budget.  Since many original documents cannot leave the office, we are prepared to work on-site at your facility, or we can complete your scanning project at our secure facility in Columbus, Ohio.

Quality Assurance

Quality control is initiated at every step of the process, and images are manually inspected to ensure you receive the best scan possible.

Identification & Organization

Your digital images will be organized into the appropriate file structure specified in your project, making it easy for you to find the information you need
