Book Cradle-Shakespeare1

With our custom-built book cradle on-site at our client’s location, we can safely digitize oversized volumes, books with various sized spines, notebooks, portfolios, artist sketchbooks, diaries, and ephemera.

Our glass-free design eliminates any potential damage due to contact with the original document.  This solution protects the surface of the page from abrasion, lifting of print and possible object-to-object transfer of invisible contaminants.
