From paper to digital archive,
without losing a single detail.
World-class book and document scanners from i2S DigiBook (France) and Kirtas (USA), with local advice, implementation and support from Despapeliza in 13 Latin American countries.
Robotic scanning of bound books with the Kirtas KABIS IIIW.
Maximum resolution of the i2S DigiBook Quartz series in smaller formats.
From manuscripts to large-format maps and plans, under ISO 19264, FADGI and Metamorfoze.
Its value is unique.
Its digitization should be too
Books, files, records and historical collections deteriorate with every consultation and stay out of reach of the people who need them. With preservation-quality capture, your institution protects the original, opens remote access and turns paper into information that can be searched, managed and shared.

Universities
Repositories, theses and research centres.
Archives
Historical, administrative and judicial.
Museums
Works on paper, maps, plans and collections.
Notaries and registries
