From paper to digital archive, without losing a single detail.
World-class book and document scanners from i2S DigiBook (France) and Kirtas (USA), with advice, deployment and local support from Despapeliza in 13 Latin American countries.
Robotic scanning of bound books with the Kirtas KABIS IIIW.
Maximum resolution of i2S DigiBook's Quartz series in smaller formats.
From manuscripts to large-format drawings and maps, under ISO 19264, FADGI and Metamorfoze.
Its value is unique.
Its digitization should be too
Books, files, registers and historical collections deteriorate with every consultation and stay out of reach of the people who need them. With a preservation-quality capture, your institution protects the original, opens remote access and turns paper into information that can be searched, managed and shared.
Institutions that safeguard what cannot be lost
Libraries
National, public and specialized.
Universities
Repositories, theses and research centres.
Archives
Historical, administrative and judicial.
Museums
Works on paper, maps, drawings and collections.
Notaries and registries
Land, civil and property registries.
Service companies
Digitization bureaus and document outsourcing.
Heritage precision and automated volume
In Latin America we represent i2S DigiBook and Kirtas: two complementary technologies covering everything from a single manuscript to mass digitization of collections.
i2S DigiBook
Preservation quality for unique and fragile material. A French specialist in cultural heritage since 2000.
- Formats from A3 to 2A0: books, maps, drawings and artworks.
- LIMB software suite: capture, processing, publishing and management.
- Compliant with ISO 19264, FADGI and Metamorfoze.
Kirtas
Robotic book scanning at production speed. A pioneer of automatic scanning since 2003, with systems at Yale and Johns Hopkins.
- A robotic arm that turns the pages, one by one, with no manual intervention.
- Up to 2,890 images per hour (KABIS IIIW).
- MARC, Dublin Core, METS and MODS metadata.
From the manuscript to the large-format drawing
Its scanners and its LIMB software suite form a complete workflow, designed for libraries, archives and museums that cannot compromise on quality.
