Aperture Card Scanning Services
Aperture Card Scanning and Conversion Services. We know. Many of you might be asking yourself, “what is an Aperture Card? I’ve never seen one!” And in truth, we couldn’t question your business knowledge if you don’t know what one is. It is, for the most part, ancient history. But a history that is still lurking about, and has secrets to reveal.
Way, way back in the middle of the last Century, aperture cards were state of the art for storing and retrieving records and other information. An Aperture Card consists of a punch card- like piece of cardboard with a negative imbedded in it. The negative in the “aperture” contained the data, and there were notches in the card so that a mechanical sorter could store and retrieve them. Like we said, ancient history. Just this side of cave drawings.
But for many older companies or new companies that have acquired the assets of old companies, there may be information on those cards that are needed today. And since the viewers that did the Aperture Card Imaging are hard to find these days, converting that information to a more modern format is necessary to access that information.
That’s where Rely Services comes in. We offer Aperture Card Scanning Services! Send us your old and tired aperture cards, and we’ll do the Aperture Card Digitization that will convert them to brand spanking new digital files in the format of your choice: TIFF, JPEG, or PDF.
