Aperture card scanning

Converting aperture cards to digital images is one of Microfilm Depot's specialties. It all starts with sorting and inventorying the aperture cards by drawing size (usually A-E). Sometimes these sizes are typed on the header; other times the frames need to be examined. Once the cards are batched by size, they can be scanned. Aperture card scanning is a process that utilizes experienced labor, supervision, and an aperture card scanner.

The aperture card scanner is set up to name the files by the Hollerith punch code, or the images can be named sequentially. Images can be TIFF, JPEG, PDF, or other file formats and extensions. Microfilm Depot can create a database, spreadsheet, or text file wherein the filenames can be imported into your electronic drawing management system.
