Abstract
An image handling method and system for executing the method wherein hardcopy images are scanned at a scanner station, to obtain a corresponding set of digital image signals. Each of the digital sets of image signals is assigned an associated unique identification. The digital signal sets and their associated identification are communicated to a hub station which is remote from the scanner station, and then forwarded to a terminal which is remote from both the hub station and the scanning station via a route independent of the hub station. Storage for the communicated image set signals and associated identification are provided at the hub station.
