The challenge

The Historiographical Institute at the University of Tokyo collects old documents, art, and books from all over Japan. The items may be hundreds of years old so they are difficult to copy without causing damage. It is delicate and time consuming work.

The solution

The ScanSnap SV600 scans delicate books, documents, and art without the hassle of a flatbed. With just a turn of the page, its quick overhead scanning of about three seconds per page allows for quicker preservation of items.
