Preserving Historical Images

​

We have a custom program available to help digitize archives. This service can be spread over a long period of time and includes low res jpegs for web and library proposes, mixed in with medium to very high res for printing purposes.
We work with a photographer or their estate to find the best arrangements to archive what is often an unwieldy volume of work.  This service can be done on a daily, monthly, or quarterly fee structure. In most cases, a client can use Photoshop or Lightroom retouching tools to clean up the files, allowing us to concentrate on higher res files and affording the client huge savings.  With modern editing and library tools, storage is handled easily for our clients.
