DIGITAL SOLUTIONS
DIGITIZATION
Let's talk about your project! Do you have photos in albums, loose photos, framed photos, slides, film? We'll schedule an in-person meeting or phone consult to arrange for picking up your physical copies and
ensure a safe chain of custody. We love to know - archiving project size, items to be digitized, and
how it should be delivered back (cloud account or usb drive) to provide pricing.
INITIAL CONSULTATION
We'll sort and organize your images creating a catalog system leveraged during scanning and editing. All images are removed from albums, frames, and boxes.
SORT & ORGANIZE
DIGITIZATION
Images are hand-scanned with protective gloves, tagged with information, and placed into folders. They'll then go through editing to improve imperfections and restore original color.
UPLOAD IMAGES
Upon completion of the digitizing process, images are uploaded to a cloud account or onto a USB drive. Originals can be returned or disposed.
To hold onto physical photos and preserve your physical collection, we can curate your collection by implementing traditional archiving best practices and curb deterioration of your items. Physical images will be placed in acid-free boxes and sleeves, and placed in temperate spaces for storage,
free of humidity, direct light, and heat fluctuations.
