1. A mass digitization system, comprising: a support structure; a work surface structure rotatably coupled to the support structure; a drive system coupled to the support structure and configured to rotate the work surface structure; and an imaging station positioned proximate the work surface structure, including: a hood structure positioned at a peripheral portion of the work surface structure and extending over a corresponding portion of a top surface of the work surface structure; and a cover surrounding the hood structure, such that the hood structure, the cover and the corresponding portion of the top surface of the work surface structure define a digitization area; at least one light source selectively emitting light into the digitization area; and an imaging device within the digitization area, wherein the imaging device is configured to detect items received on the top surface of the work surface structure within the digitization area as the work surface structure rotates, and to capture images of the detected items.
