Archive and preserve historical information

LexisNexis® scanning technology captures all content and images within your paper documents, microfiche and structured and unstructured electronic files. To create the most accurate digital representation, our specialized team also enhances scanned documents with robust contrast and color sharpening technologies, along with a variety of segmentation tools.

Improve access to agency intellectual property

Converted digital documents give your agency a fast, convenient way to access all your data. Our expert team preserves your documents in a format that meets the highest expectations for quality, usability, compatibility and longevity.

Build more precise search and retrieval

The LexisNexis® data conversion team leverages a combination of human expertise and advanced algorithmic programming to help you get the most out of your digital documents through the application of metadata and indexing and taxonomy technologies. Using a rule-based classification system developed by computational linguists, LexisNexis® indexers build and maintain unique concept definitions. This classification then informs a global indexing application programming interface (GIAPI) as it identifies the most relevant documents in a search.

Surface previously unknown connections by applying linking algorithms

Your converted agency content can be linked to billions of business news, legal content and public records data available through lexis.com®, which also keeps court documents meaningful and up to date by automatically hyperlinking legal citations to their respective Shepard’s® Signal™ Indicators. Our federated search technology improves the speed, precision and recall of results to retrieve faster, more meaningful answers.

Scan remotely or on-site

LexisNexis® Advanced Government Solutions maintains nearly 200,000 square feet of state-of-the-art scanning and warehousing facilities, but our experienced team can also work at your own facilities. We’ve deployed digitization teams to the National Archives, Library of Congress, and a number of Presidential Libraries.
