Whether you’re an institution with a collection of thousands of full newspapers, or a family with a single news clipping of an important moment, EverPresent will do a great job on your newspaper scanning project. We can provide .jpeg or .tiff files of individual pages, or .pdf files of entire newspaper editions. If you are interested in creating a searchable archive that’s indexed and readable by optical character recognition (OCR), we can provide it or consult on very economical DIY software options. We look forward to discussing the exact scope necessary to get your newspapers safely digitized.
Our Mission
“By making the hard work of digitizing and sharing easy for our clients, we will preserve our world’s history before old formats fade and family stories are lost to time. Our ultimate goal is to make your best memories EverPresent in your life.”
– Eric, Jennifer & Winston

Frequently Asked Questions about Scanning Newspapers
Our most memorable old newspaper scanning projects have been the ones that did more than just digitize. We’ve taken large collections of football career clippings and created photo books, and even a completely customized website. We’ve also scanned and cropped them out of scrapbooks to be re-used in custom photo books and slideshows.
The EverPresent Difference: Unlike other digitizing companies, we don’t ask you to count or organize your papers beforehand. You can send us your shoeboxes of clippings or bound volumes exactly as they are. We will inventory them, provide a no-obligation estimate, and a dedicated consultant will walk you through the technical options before we ever start.
When scanning delicate items such as newspapers we use special extra large format scanners which don’t require us to bend or fold anything. Special stitching software lets us scan any size and composite larger items back together again. Digitized newspapers can be used in slideshows, family albums or customized websites to help tell the story of your loved ones. Preserving and sharing these brings everyone together in remembering the events of your family.
