Important – Nitrate and Acetate Film Assessment:
Medium format nitrate and acetate film will require an assessment before digitisation to establish its condition and level of deterioration. We will check for signs such as shrinkage, warping, brittleness, curling, vinegar syndrome or other chemical deterioration. The assessment helps determine safe handling, the appropriate digitisation method and whether any additional conservation measures are needed. The final quotation may depend on the condition of the material.
4. Photographic Glass Plates & Lantern Slides
Historic glass plate negatives and positive lantern slides. These materials may require additional handling and assessment.
5. Sheet Film, Transparencies & X-Ray Film
Large-format sheet film and specialist photographic transparencies, including historic and technical collections.
1. Standard Photographic Film – Pricing Table
110 film: Due to its very fine grain, 110 slides and negatives must first be digitised to Publication TIFF before conversion to JPEG. The Publication TIFF rate therefore applies.
