Project workflow

Archive projects are planned before production begins.

We can start with a sample or site visit where the collection is too large to describe easily.

1

Initial review

We establish the material, approximate volume and required outcome.

2

Scope & quote

We set out handling, digitisation, file structure and cost.

3

Digitisation

The material is processed using the agreed workflows.

4

Delivery

Digital files and all original material are returned as agreed.

Archive enquiry

Tell us what your organisation has.

A few photographs and a rough description of the collection are enough to start.
