Assessment

Before the start of any archive digitisation project, we assess various factors. These include the types of documents you need scanning, archive volume, time and your budgetary requirements. You might also want to choose how you want your documents stored, or specify details on the condition of the material. Whatever your needs, we’ll find the best solution.
