By Margaret Cole


You might be surprised to learn that digitizing yearbooks is a very common activity today. There are many reasons for this. If you want to learn more about yearbook digitization try checking out some of the tips outlined here.

It is easy to see why so many people are interested to learn ways to digitize yearbooks. In years past High School Junior High and Elementary school yearbooks were very heavy items filled with photos of classmates. Today they are a bit more contemporary in style and some are even available in digital formats.

For example some yearbook photos are created so that they may be sent by e-mail or shared with family and friends online. This helps the publisher because it is less expensive to produce than in book format. Many people are also interested in sharing their old year books this way.

Certainly being able to relive old memories amongst friends is part of their appeal. Thus it is easy to see why a lot of people want to be able to share photos and text from yearbooks via social media and similar networks. It is hardly surprising that there is a strong demand for digitizing school and college publications today.

Of course this technology is not only used for yearbooks but for many other types of books for which there is a demand for them to be shared digitally. The demand for this type of technology has meant that it has developed very quickly. In simple terms that usually means scanning every page of the book or text and translating it into a image file which can be transferred on a computer.

Because of the strong demand there are lots of different companies which are providing help with the service. There are some that are geared for business owners with large jobs as well as examples that cater to the lay person who might only want a single publication digitized. Usually this requires that you send the yearbook or other publication to the company. It is sent back to you and you also receive it in digital format either by email or a secure server.

Because the end result is easy and cheap to share via a computer, it allows the companies that provide the service a chance to cater to clients across the country. In fact it is not uncommon for many college and university websites to have archives featuring college newspapers and other publications produced on campus. Because they have been recreated in digital format readers can easily access them.

If you do not have the funds to hire a service to digitize your yearbook, there are some simple ways to scan particular photos and pages to computer files. A lot of printers have scanners which enable this process. If you plan to publish aspects of a yearbook make sure that you have the appropriate permissions to do so legally. For more tips on this topic there are lots of resources online. For example you can find a variety of blogs and websites that discuss practical pointers for archiving and digitizing yearbooks and other school books and publications.
