Services

Every way to preserve a document

Scanning is where it starts. We also read difficult handwriting, repair what is damaged, turn plans into maps and put collections online.

Outputs

Every project ends with files you can use for years. We agree the formats with you before we start, and can provide:

Your originals come back to you, and the digital records are yours to use as you choose.

How it works

Step 1: Tell us what you hold
Describe the originals, or send a few photographs, and we suggest the best way to preserve them, with a quote.
Step 2: Collected with care
Our team collects registers, books and maps and transports them in fireproof boxes, or you bring them to the studio.
Step 3: Scanned without harm
Every page and sheet is captured on the scanner that suits it, cradled, flattened or pieced together as it needs.
Step 4: Transcribed and checked
Entries are transcribed, plans traced into maps and every file checked against the original.
Step 5: Returned and delivered
Your originals come back safely, with the digital files in the formats you chose, or hosted online.

Tell us what you have and what you want from it, and we will recommend the right approach.
