Your corporate, heritage or consumer photographs are special treasures. Taking proper care of them is an important responsibility. Sometimes as photographs age, they become harder to see, and the photo paper might seem as though it is disintegrating.
From 1 photograph to the many 1000's of album archives. We are one of the leading experts in digital TIFF, JPEG and PDF archival conversions within the UK, ensuring document outputs adhere to The National Archive Standards. This ensures your valuable archives are digitised to the highest output to preserve your history.
Digitising original photographs and photograph albums can allow you to view, archive or share your items without handling the originals. This allows you to keep your originals once digitised without any preservation risks. We apply a 'white glove' approach to all our archive handling of originals, ensuring no media are damaged in the process.
While photographs stored improperly are likely to become fragile over time, you might be surprised to learn that photograph damage is often caused by silverfish–pests you might not even realise are infesting the storage areas of your home. They can eat at the emulsion and paper fibers of a photograph causing significant damage to the photograph itself. It’s important to pay attention to your storage areas, particularly if you have any dampness in these places, even if only during certain seasons.
Our professional scanners digitise using text enhancement, bleed through removal, moiré removal and colour drop out all ensure heightened legibility of your scanned documents.
