This is entirely up to you. Our scanning service are carried out to conform precisely to the British Standard Institute BIP0008. This means they are scanned in accordance to ensure ‘evidential weight and legal admissibility of information’ so that there is no requirement on you to keep the original copy. Let us know what you want us to do with the originals following the completion of the order – we can either deliver it back to you, we can securely destroy it, or we can store it at our secure facility at very reasonable cost.If we are scanning photos, books, or items which hold sentimental value, we take the upmost care to look after them. We are, of course, able to return these items to you.
