Document Scanning and Managing for the Orioles

Preserving Orioles history for future generations

Document Scanning and Management

For decades, organizations have trusted iScan to help preserve important records, historical archives, and business-critical information. One such project began in the early years of Oriole Park at Camden Yards, when the Baltimore Orioles sought a long-term solution to protect a growing archive documenting both the team’s new home and one of baseball’s most iconic players, Cal Ripken Jr.

Problem

As the Orioles accumulated newspaper clippings featuring Cal Ripken Jr. and coverage of the newly opened Camden Yards, team leadership became increasingly concerned about the long-term preservation of the collection. Stored within the historic B&O Warehouse overlooking the ballpark, the archive represented an important piece of Baltimore baseball history. The organization wanted a reliable backup solution that would protect the materials from deterioration while ensuring they remained accessible for future generations.

Solution

The Orioles turned to iScan for guidance. After evaluating the archive and available preservation options, iScan recommended microfilm as the most effective long-term solution. While digital scanning technology was available, microfilm offered superior archival longevity and a shelf life measured in generations when properly stored. Once the plan was approved, iScan carefully transferred the collection to its production facility, where trained specialists, including individuals with disabilities, created high-quality microfilm copies designed to preserve the records for decades to come.

The project was completed on time and according to specification, providing the Baltimore Orioles with a dependable archival backup of their historic collection.

Outcome

The project was completed on time and according to specification, providing the Baltimore Orioles with a dependable archival backup of their historic collection. More than a preservation project, the engagement reflected iScan’s longstanding commitment to helping organizations safeguard information that matters. Today, as iScan delivers modern document scanning, digital workflow, and records management solutions, the Orioles project remains an enduring example of the trusted expertise that has defined the organization for decades.
