What we digitise
Whatever you’ve got, let’s talk.
Virtually any physical or legacy digital information — on paper, on film, on media or already on a server. Different forms need different handling, but the aim is always the same: information you can actually use.
Whatever form your information currently takes, we can start there.
Forms of information
Information takes many forms.
Almost anything that holds information can become useful digital information. These are the forms we see most often.
On paper
The most familiar form — and often the largest volume.
Paper & Documents
Loose papers, files, forms and records.
Books & Bound Material
Volumes, registers and bound records.
Incoming Mail
Day-to-day post, captured as it arrives.
As images
Photographic originals where detail and tone matter.
Photographs
Prints and photographic collections.
Negatives & Slides
Transparent originals that need their own capture method.
On film
Information already reduced to film, often for long-term storage.
Film
Film formats and reels.
Microfilm
Roll film from existing microform archives.
Microfiche
Fiche sheets and microform cards.
At scale
Material too large for standard handling.
Drawings & Plans
Technical, architectural and engineering drawings.
Maps & Large Format
Maps and oversized material — including formats larger than A0 where appropriate.
On media
Information held on carriers that are becoming harder to read.
CDs & DVDs
Optical discs and the files stored on them.
Tape & Magnetic Media
Legacy tape and magnetic storage.
Already digital
Digital, but not necessarily finished.
Legacy Digital Files
Files in older formats or systems.
Existing PDFs
Scans that exist, but aren’t yet searchable, indexed or structured.
Something else
Unusual, fragile or one-off material.
Specialist Material
If it holds information, ask us about it.
Already digital
A digital file is not necessarily finished information.
You may already have thousands of PDFs and still have a problem — because they aren’t searchable, indexed, structured or usable. Being digital is a starting point, not the destination.
