Digitising Singapore’s Legal Heritage: Micrographics Data Awarded SAL Project
Share
In the legal profession, information is only as valuable as it is accessible. Micrographics Data Pte Ltd is proud to announce a significant project award by the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) to lead the digitisation of their critical document archives and legal records.
This partnership highlights our standing as a trusted broad-base provider for Singapore’s most sensitive statutory boards and professional bodies.
Preserving the Pillars of Justice
The Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) serves as the promotion and development agency for Singapore’s legal industry. Managing their vast archives requires more than just high-speed scanning; it requires forensic-level precision and a deep understanding of legal data sensitivity.
The Challenge: Balancing Accessibility and Security
Legal documents often contain dense, complex text and fragile historical records that are vital to Singapore’s judicial history. SAL required a partner capable of:
- High-Fidelity Digitisation: Ensuring every footnote and fine-print detail is captured with 100% clarity.
- Searchable Intelligence: Moving beyond simple PDFs to create a fully indexed, AI-searchable database.
- Strict Confidentiality: Adhering to the highest levels of data protection required by the legal sector.
The Micrographics Data Solution
With over 35 years of experience in the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums) and legal sectors, Micrographics Data Pte Ltd deployed a specialized workflow for this award:
1. Museum-Grade Scanning Technology
Using non-contact, planetary scanners, we ensure that even the oldest legal volumes are digitised without physical wear, preserving the original documents for another century.
2. AI-Powered OCR for Legal Research
By implementing advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR), we transform static images into dynamic data. This allows legal professionals to perform full-text searches across thousands of pages in seconds.
3. PDPA & Security Compliance
Operating as a secure, local facility in Singapore, we provide SAL with the peace of mind that all sensitive legal data is handled by security-cleared personnel within a controlled environment.
A Trusted Partner for Singapore’s Statutory Boards
This award from the Singapore Academy of Law reinforces Micrographics Data Pte Ltd's reputation as the go-to specialist for high-stakes digitisation. From the National Archives of Singapore (NAS) to the National Library Board (NLB), and now SAL, we continue to set the gold standard for document imaging in the region.
The Impact of the Project
By digitising these records, SAL is not just saving physical space—they are empowering the legal community with a modern, digital-first approach to information management.
