The process of digitizing an archive is much more than simply scanning materials into a computer.
Our standards and processes range from scanning the original documents, meta data entry, data storage, indexing, search, presentation and sharing of information over networks and the internet. The result is high-quality, functional digital archives that can be relied upon and efficiently utilized by content owners and researchers.
Our proprietary Archive Digitization Application (ADA) software is designed specifically to address the needs of historical archives and can be customized for any type of internal archival structure, media type and metadata organization.
