Important documents accumulate quickly - family records, personal files, business paperwork, and materials that are important but difficult to manage over time.

Archive Lane digitizes documents with care and intention, creating high-quality digital files that are easier to access and organize. Some projects benefit from Document Indexing & OCR to improve searchability, and certain clients request Shredding & Secure Disposal once digitization is complete, and others incorporate Certified Notary Services or use The Memory Drop for ongoing preservation of meaningful paper items.

Especially helpful for:

  • Individuals organizing personal or family records

  • Small businesses transitioning from paper to digital files

  • Estate, legacy, or household document organization

  • Anyone needing faster, clearer access to important paperwork

Specialized handling available for:

  • Historical or fragile materials

  • Oversized documents

  • Mixed or complex collections

Digitize your documents. Simplify access. Preserve what matters.

Request Document Digitization

All document projects are reviewed before work begins to confirm handling requirements and scope.

  • What it is:

    • High-quality digital reproduction of physical documents

    • Designed to improve access, organization, and long-term preservation

    • Allows documents to be viewed, shared, and referenced more easily

    • Faithful to the original content without modification

    What it isn’t:

    • Interpretation, certification, or validation of documents

    • Legal advice or records certification

    • Compliance verification or guarantees

    • A replacement for original, authoritative source documents

    Important to know:

    • Digitization does not alter document meaning or legal standing

    • Original documents remain the authoritative source unless otherwise specified by applicable laws or regulations

  • Some document collections require additional care and review.

    This may include:

    • Bulk document projects

    • Historical or fragile materials

    • Oversized documents

    • Mixed or complex collections

    Advanced handling options:

    • Individual project assessment to determine the safest digitization approach

    • Specialized handling for delicate or non-standard materials

    • Custom workflows for large or multi-format collections

    OCR (Optical Character Recognition):

    • May be applied to create searchable PDFs

    • Allows text within documents to be keyword searched

    • Not all materials are suitable for OCR

    • OCR use is determined during project review to ensure accuracy and quality

    Important to note:

    • Fragile, historical, or oversized materials are reviewed individually

    • Handling methods are selected based on preservation, not speed

  • Digitized files are delivered in a way that prioritizes clarity, accessibility, and long-term use.

    File organization includes:

    • Clear, logical file naming conventions

    • Grouping that reflects how originals were stored or used, when possible
