Scanners for Museums

(10 Items)

Museums hold thousands of artefacts, old artworks, and one-of-a-kind pieces. It’s only natural that we want to do everything we can to protect them. 

At The Scanner Shop, we provide high-quality large-format scanners for museums. These scanners are designed to handle delicate items and documents with care, helping to digitally preserve important books, photographs, maps, manuscripts and much more. 

Not only are our museum scanners ideal for museums, but they’re also beneficial for safely storing large items in galleries, libraries, and cultural heritage organisations. You no longer have to worry about missing or damaged documents; everything is stored safely in digital files.

Our large-format scanners are designed to handle historical artefacts with care. They can capture intricate details and accurate colours, producing excellent-quality scans for professional purposes.

This is also beneficial for freeing up valuable space within institutions and preserving valuable, often fragile, and irreplaceable items. Browse our museum scanners below, designed to meet the specific needs of preservation professionals.

In September 2024 The Scanner Shop partnered Epson to provide The British Museum with a scanning solution for a newly donated collection of photographs and film. In this instance the Epson Expression 13000XL Pro A3 flatbed scanner was recommended and installed.
