Archive & Document Scanning worked with the Norfolk Family History Society (NFHS) to digitise thousands of fragile historical documents, photographs, maps, letters, and family records relating to Norfolk’s rich heritage.

Some records dated back generations and required specialist handling due to their delicate condition and varying sizes from large A2 documents to tiny handwritten records.

By carefully scanning and digitising these archives, we’ve helped ensure this invaluable source of local history is preserved and accessible for years to come.

Is It Cheaper to Store Documents…or Scan Them?

Many businesses assume physical storage is the cheaper option but that’s not always the case.

While archive storage may seem low-cost at first, the hidden expenses can quickly add up:

📦 Ongoing storage fees
🔍 File retrieval charges
🏢 Office space taken up by cabinets and boxes
⏳ Time spent searching for documents

Scanning your documents once can give you:

✔️ Instant digital access
✔️ Stronger security and backup
✔️ Reduced storage costs
✔️ A more efficient, paper-light office

Every business is different, which is why it’s worth comparing the options.

📞 Speak with ADS and we’ll help you work out the most cost-effective solution for your archive.
