DIGITISING

Heritage digitisation offers

We are global leaders in heritage digitisation, with one of the widest ranges of technology at our disposal.

From photographic negatives to historical monuments, we are passionate about transferring all categories of heritage to the digital realm and preserving it for posterity.

We are able to adapt to the specificities of digitising old books and documents, which require special attention due to their age and state of conservation.

2D digitisation

Preserving your historical heritage in all its forms

We digitise all 2D artefacts, from the most simple to the most complex, regardless of design, material, or state of conservation. Whether it’s a postage stamp, map, antique book, A4 sheet, parchment, manuscript, or drawing, we preserve your heritage so that it stands the test of time.

We are available to conduct audits and technical scanning studies with precision and expertise.

Heritage collections processed:

  • Printed books, old newspapers, newsletters, and magazines
  • Medieval manuscripts and early printed books (incunabula)
  • Catalogues, technical documentation
  • Registers: resolutions, civil registry documents, military matriculations
  • Manuscripts, letters
  • Archives, collections
  • Postcards, Ektachromes, photographic prints, glass plates
  • Maps, architectural plans, posters, prints, drawings.

Object digitisation: 360°, 3D, Packshot

Advanced technologies for heritage digitisation

The development of capture and imaging technologies means that we can now digitise all collections, including objects in all formats, textile collections, manufacturing materials, and architectural heritage. The possibilities are endless! These media offer new ways of researching, distributing and sharing.

Audio-visual digitisation

We safeguard all your assets

From cleaning and calibration to capturing and converting images and sound, we process all formats, from K7 to Beta.

Preserving audio-visual heritage stored only on tape becomes challenging as playback devices change over time.

 

Collections processed:

  • 1 inch C

  • ½ inch

  • Betacam

  • Betacam SP

  • BVU

  • BVU SP

  • Digital Betacam

  • DV CAM

  • HI8

  • U-Matic

  • 16/35mm film family

  • K7 audio

  • ¼ inch tapes, etc.

Microform digitisation

Processing your microforms

Microforms refer to all storage media containing micro-images, i.e., reduced size images that must be magnified to be read. We digitise all types of media: COM and DOC microfiches, aperture cards, 16mm microfilms, and 35mm microfilms on reels or discs.

This includes specially adapted digitisation using existing indexing elements.
