Imaging Innovations An IDI November 2020 - Innovative Document Imaging

November 2020

The pandemic has drastically changed our way of life and almost everyone in the US has had to adapt new ways to work, study, shop, travel, dine, socialize and exercise. The team at Innovative Document Imaging continues to adapt and implement creative ways to service our clients. We wish all our customers, vendors and friends a happy and healthy Thanksgiving and please stay safe!

On November 5th IDI hosted a very well attended Zoom library digitization webinar. If you did not or could not attend please click on the link below you would like to view a recording of the session. The session included an informative interview with Sarah Hull the Head of Local History, Genealogy & Special Collections at the Plainfield, New Jersey Public Library and a DigiFind-It web portal demonstration which highlighted new features and functionality. The lucky winner of the drawing for an Amazon Fire Tablet was Amy White from the Buckingham Public Library in Dillwyn, Virginia.

New IDI imaging projects include yearbooks, photos and a DigiFind-it web content management system for a high profile New York City independent school as well as Newspaper Almanacs for the Waldwick, New Jersey Public Library. We also started three pharmaceutical document conversion projects for two New Jersey facilities and one in Massachusetts.

In November we will begin a large microfilm to image publishing conversion for a University Law school and the New York court system as well as document conservation and imaging project for Princeton University. IDI has also started two other imaging projects for Universities. One for a California based University and the other for a Canadian based Universities. Both will utilize IDI’s fire resistant, water proof and crush proof Pelican Cases to safely ship their archival library content to IDI.

For those who do research on the NJ Historical Portal, IDI will be redesigning and launching a new improved version in the first quarter of 2021. The new site will feature the ability to key word search from a large collection of New Jersey City Directories.
