The position of the document image data with memo is then brought into alignment with the original document image data and is collated to extract only those memo data written by hand. Then the kind of memo is discriminated, the process is effected depending upon the kind of memo, and the memo data is stored in the secondary data file for retrieval. To retrieve the document, the memo data of a plurality of documents are read out from the secondary data file depending upon the kind of memo that is designated, and are displayed as a look-up table. If the operator designates any one of them, the image of the corresponding original document is read out from the original document image file and is displayed.
