INNOVATION

We offer preservation level digitization for newspapers, yearbooks, theses collections and any rare bound material.

CUSTOM FABRICATED EQUIPMENT

Our custom designed and fabricated equipment allows greater flexibility for our "by hand" approach.

THE 180 DIFFERENCE

We “work backwards” by fitting our custom-fabricated image capture stations and processing to your specific materials.

Let us help solve the puzzle of creating an effective digital archive.

We recognize that each collection is unique and this requires a high degree of experience and expertise.
