Libraries, Archives & Museums

Partnering with institutions large and small to deliver customized digitization and digital library services.

The digitization needs of libraries, archives and museums are as diverse as their collections. Library administrations struggle to bring in patrons via search engines and the Internet, while preservation departments face a confusing array of digitization standards and techniques. With digitization, institutions can maintain huge repositories of information, or seek to preserve one valuable collection, making it searchable and accessible to a new generation of users online.

We custom-design a digitizing solution to fit our client's specific needs, increasing their capability to grow and sustain their digital collections. Our services meet our clients' rigorous standards for best-quality at the most economical price. Our clients also take pride in DDD's social mission.

We meet the digitization needs of libraries, private archives, major research universities, private schools, town halls, and museums. Our projects range from digitally preserving the "crown jewels" of library collections, historic newspapers, manuscripts and photos. We also provide specialized technical services for EAD conversion and OCR assessment. In addition, we understand how to work with the stakeholders for each project - from librarians and alumni associations to grant-makers and administrators.

DDD has been digitizing historical publications since our founding in 2001, and we now process hundreds of thousands of pages of historical content each month.
