Archival Scanning & Old Media
This isn’t bulk scanning. This is preservation done right.
Your memories, artwork, slides, old media, VHS tapes, films, audio, LPs, cassettes, Hi8 tapes, microcassettes, CDs, camera cards and negatives deserve more than bulk scanning and conversion—they deserve expert care.
We are a boutique studio specializing in high-touch, museum-quality archival scanning. Every piece is handled individually by a skilled professional—never fed through automated systems or outsourced to a warehouse. Using professional Epson scanners for 2D items, we capture extraordinary detail, rich color accuracy, and true-to-original fidelity. For oversized works like posters, we use high-end Nikon photography in a controlled studio environment to ensure flawless results.
This level of care is why our work has been trusted by institutional archives, universities, and museums.
But quality isn’t just about the scan or conversion—it’s about what happens after. Every file we deliver is meticulously organized, clearly named, and embedded with searchable metadata. No more endless folders or lost images—your archive becomes something you can actually use, navigate, and share with ease.
We scan with purpose. Photographs, slides, and negatives are digitized at 300 dpi and enlarged to at least 12 inches on the longest side, giving you flexibility for printing and display. Documents, books, and detailed materials are captured at 600 dpi for exceptional clarity. Each file is carefully color-corrected to remove discoloration and restore a clean, natural appearance.
Your old media: VHS tapes, audio cassettes, CDs, flash drives, camera cards, DVDs, 8mm films, 16mm films, microcassettes, Hi8 tapes, LPs and reel-to-reel are all converted and quality checked with the eye of a professional.
If your originals items need repair, we offer professional restoration and retouching tailored to your goals. From subtle corrections to full reconstruction of damaged areas, every adjustment is made with a trained artistic eye—enhancing your images without compromising their authenticity.
Most importantly, we take the time to understand how you plan to use your archive. Whether for printing, exhibitions, family legacy, or digital access, we ensure your files are prepared to serve you now and in the future.
Your finished collection is delivered through a private, password-protected online gallery—perfect for viewing, sharing, and downloading. You’ll also receive a complete backup on a flash drive or external hard drive, so your archive is accessible, and entirely yours.
