Are your student records
doomed to the dungeon room?

There’s no shame if they are, they have to be stored somewhere!

Stop Stressing about Security of Records

Don’t let the fear of natural disasters wiping out your records keep you up at night. Parchment’s expert team can digitize legacy records of all types, ensuring they’re safe, secure, and easily accessible—even in a crisis. Plus, you’ll have peace of mind with a certificate of destruction, as our FERPA-trained staff securely disposes of the originals.

3. Run QA and Review

Ensuring accuracy is key. We run Quality Assurance (QA) tests 3 times throughout our process, including a review done with you, to affirm the records have been properly indexed and are of high quality.

4. Transfer and Store

Receive your newly digitized and indexed files via an SFTP for you to keep. We also give you the chance to store records in Parchment. We’ll create a roster of your learners, so that when new requests come in, you can auto-match based on the indexed data and learner profile, saving you even more time in your search.

5. Return Records or Destroy

Choose what you want to do with your legacy records. We can return them all to you or destroy them. And we don’t just shred your records—we incinerate them and provide you with a certificate of destruction.

We’re here to support your institution’s
journey towards greater efficiency and success.
