Preserving Digital Content Trapped on Older Media
Digital information can become difficult to access when the computers, drives, operating systems and software originally used to read it disappear. Oxford Duplication Centre provides specialist extraction and digitisation for personal collections, businesses, archives, museums, researchers and heritage organisations.
We work with both common optical media and more unusual legacy formats, assessing the media first and then selecting the appropriate hardware and extraction method.

Not every digital collection arrives on a standard CD or DVD. We also assess specialist and obsolete removable media where the correct reader, drive or extraction process is required.
Depending on the format, our services can include SD cards, magneto-optical discs, DDS data media, SyQuest disks and other legacy digital storage.
Where a format is unusual or potentially damaged, we recommend assessment before a fixed quotation is given.
