Digitization

We can convert many common and unique types of physical and digital source material into a broad range of industry-standard digital formats.

Digitizing

Your original content, from paper documents and photographs to disk drives and video, will be digitized consistently and accurately.
We are especially experienced with audio and video tapes, but we can digitize most types of audio-visual materials, including film.
We can digitize books and collections on paper, from basic business documents to complex graphics and databases.
We have specialized facilities designed to digitize rare documents, manuscripts, and high-resolution imagery.
We can provide referrals for services that digitize other unique materials.
We have special expertise in digitizing high-volume audio-visual materials, using mass-digitization robots and related systems.
We can set up a cost-effective, automated encoding process to digitize your raw footage and finished productions, from small libraries to high-volume collections.

Quality-control monitoring is performed consistently on all encoding projects to assure accurate file creation and reproduction.
Our technical systems are compatible with preservation standards for digital media established by the Library of Congress at the Packard Campus of the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center and other digital archive centers.

When digitizing videos, the Digital Repository can create many different formats at once. A common combination is:

We can produce many types of wrappers, including:

We offer services to index, catalog and add metadata to enable efficient searchability and findability of digital collections.
We can provide cost-effective cataloging support, based on the size of your collection, level of detail required, and availability of already existing records.
Our cataloging services support the use of any standard thesaurus or classification system, or we can adapt customized vocabularies for special collections.

We can automatically extract technical metadata from the files and create unique cataloging records for your DAM or CMS, or safely store your files for access later.
We are able to ingest digital files online, on hard drives, or from digital media such as LTO tapes.
We can import and export associated XML with all files.
We are able to associate and add quality assurance data as needed.
We can perform restoration on many types of digital assets and keep both the original and the restored versions for use.
We provide access to all archived files through online archive management systems.
