We have almost a dozen boxes of older HOA documents. A document archivist will:
- Scan all documents into a computer.
- Perform OCR (computer text recognition on documents).
- Save documents into our electronic file system.
There are several benefits to having documents in PDF format:
- Documents can be made available easily to all homeowners.
- Redaction of personally identifiable information (PII) becomes far easier.
- Documents become computer searchable.
- We can maintain mulitple backup copies of key documents, instead of just paper copies.
