Digitisation for preservation and presentation
Access is the key to education, but not all collections are suitable for display and not all audiences can visit the exhibition. Digitisation offers alternate form of access whilst protecting the original artefacts. Whether intended for remote display via new media options or as a research or catalogue tool, digitisation can increase access without the risks associated with displaying original items.
Our trained staff can provide a range of digitisation options either onsite or at our premises.
As well as providing services for the digitisation of photographic collections, damaged photographs can be digitally restored. Images can also be manipulated for specific purposes, for example, the lanscape banner image at the top of this page was created by combining three photographs of the Cleveland Hills, the English Channel and the banks of the River Ure at Ripon.
For examples, please see our Clients page for examples.
