We Can Do Small Fragile Jobs or Large Bulk Jobs

Our wide span of project experience ranges from digitizing the “crown jewels” of collections to ramping up to thousands of pages per month. Projects have ranged from 10,000 to 2 million pages per year.

Archives Vary and Digital Archive Needs Also Vary

Archives possess varied and valuable collections, with digitization needs that are just as diverse. In digitizing an archive, institutions can maintain huge repositories of information, or seek to preserve a small number of rare or valuable objects, documents or manuscripts. Regardless of the collection, digitization makes archives searchable and accessible to a new generation of users online.
