Record Books

A Simple Migration From Paper to Digital

Historical, hardcopy records—from plats to marriage licenses—present a unique challenge for records offices. Namely, how do you bring this information into the electronic age without burdening your staff—and how do you get that information to your customers? Cott Systems offers Backfile Services to capture images from your manual record books and make them available for your customers to search online. The best part is, no costly data entry errors.

We can make historical document images available electronically by converting from varying types of media (microfiche, aperture cards, microfilm, CD) or by capturing images via on site scanning. We then load the images database and link them to the corresponding index data, making them accessible for public retrieval.
