Transferring analogue sound recordings to digital copies has two major benefits: first, it provides greater accessibility to the content; second it ensures the digital preservation of the original recording.

We understand that a digital copy of the original is not necessarily synonymous with high quality, a distinction that others do not always make. A high quality version captures as much information from the original as possible, even if it is badly degraded. Once a master/raw copy has been made, we use a variety of techniques to improve the sound quality.

We can digitise most types of audio recording , such as Shellac/vinyl records, reel to reel tapes and audio cassettes.

Collections for whom we have digitised audio recordings include:

Energy Charter Secretariat
National Theatre
Wallace Collection
Scout Association
Scottish Fisheries Museum
Westminster Abbey
RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects)
