Professional Scanning Services

When necessary, we can scan books without removing bindings or fixings, ensuring that your books remain in the best possible condition.

We also offer a specialized digitisation service for even the most fragile books, achieving exceptional results without causing any damage.

Once the scanning process is complete, the original books are safely returned to you, and the digital files are securely stored for your convenience.


Why Choose DAD Bookbinders?

As experienced bookbinders, our team has the expertise and understanding of books, their condition, and the intricacies of binding that many other digitisation companies lack. This knowledge allows us to determine the most appropriate scanning strategies for your materials, ensuring optimal results.

We regularly conserve historical books for libraries and archives across the UK, so when you entrust your books to us for digitisation, you can be confident they are in the hands of professionals who understand both digitisation and comprehensive book conservation. We prioritize the care and preservation of your books, offering tailored advice based on the condition of your documents.

Furthermore, as specialists in the conservation of leather, paper, and vellum materials, we can provide a complete digitisation and conservation service—from start to finish.

You can trust that your books will be returned in the condition you expect, with no surprises—whether it’s ensuring materials are properly disbound or safeguarding those that cannot be rebound.

Additionally, we offer custom archival boxes or flap cases to house the original items once scanned, protecting them from further deterioration and ensuring their longevity.
