Ideal for:

Preserving fragile items

Items susceptible to damage
Rare manuscripts
Unlock the past. Protect the future.
Through physical handling and the natural passage of time, manuscripts become susceptible to unavoidable wear and tear. Marking a moment in time and often containing information of great historical significance, it’s important that such materials are captured and preserved before it’s too late. Through our digitisation process, we attentively preserve manuscripts – many containing handwritten text – to ensure that items that are too fragile to be displayed or handled can still be accessed in the future.
/ The Benefits
Search content quickly
We utilise cutting-edge technology to tag and categorise content allowing for easy search access within large collections and archives.
Make materials of interest accessible
Switch physical access for digital access to allow materials of interest to be accessed safely while removing any risk of damage to the original item.
Future-proof historical records
Preserve items of historical significance for generations to come by creating long-standing digital records of the original materials.
Create a digital archive
Newly digitised materials placed on a cloud-based storage system create a secure archive for long-term protection.
