Specialist Glass Plate Negative Scanning
Glass plate negatives can suffer cracking, haze, efflorescence and other deterioration. Careful handling and controlled scanning help preserve the photographic information they contain.

Historic glass negatives
Digital files make valuable photographic collections easier to preserve and access.
Digital Preservation & Access
We can produce digital files suitable for preservation, access, research, publication and sharing. Output requirements can be discussed according to the condition, size and intended use of the original material.
Collection care: Original photographic material remains important after digitisation. We handle historic plates and film carefully and work to minimise unnecessary handling.
