Transmitting knowledge is an essential process for education, the preservation of culture and the progress of society. Transmitting knowledge is the oldest profession in the world. The digitization of documents plays an essential role in the preservation and transmission of knowledge, for several reasons:
Long-term preservation: Physical records such as books, manuscripts, newspapers and photographs can deteriorate over time due to wear and tear, exposure to light and humidity. Scanning creates digital copies that can be stored and preserved more sustainably.
Universal Accessibility: Digitized documents can be easily accessible to a global audience via the Internet. This eliminates geographical barriers and facilitates access to knowledge for a wider audience.
Easy Search: Searching for keywords in scanned documents is much more efficient than manually searching paper documents. This allows researchers, students and the general public to quickly find relevant information.
Disaster Backup: In the event of a natural disaster, fire, or other event that results in the loss of physical records, digital copies help preserve that knowledge.
Restoration of old documents: Scanning can enable the restoration of old or damaged documents by creating more readable digital copies.
Wider sharing and dissemination: Digitized documents can be shared across various platforms, making it easier to disseminate knowledge to a wider audience.
Space Saving: Digitization reduces the need to store huge collections of physical documents, which can free up space and reduce storage costs.
Preservation of endangered languages and cultures: Digitization makes it possible to preserve documents written in endangered languages and threatened cultural traditions.
