At Presort First Class, we are big supporters of Document Imaging because we know Document Imaging saves businesses time and money - among a host of other benefits. We are also fans of some of the document imaging collections that can be found, for free, online and available to the public. Some collections follow famous authors and their personal correspondence or their original manuscripts. Others detail the memos and diaries of Presidents.
