Digitisation Services

Digitisation Services

Max offer digitisation services to a wide range of sectors and across all types of media. These include paper-based material such as bound volumes, loose sheets, index cards and catalogues as well as any other document types; plans, maps and drawings; photographs and posters; modern printed reports, agreements, contracts, statements and personnel files; as well as microfilm and microfiche; glass plates, film, video and audio tapes; floppy disks, CDs and DVDs. We also provide object photography, 3D digitisation and 360 degree virtual tours.

We are equally happy working on a single manuscript, or a few audio tapes, as we are managing a 3-year project running to several million images. No project is too small or too large. Similarly, while the vast majority of our work utilises high-spec overhead photographic capture, we are equipped to use sheet-feed scanners if the project requires it.

We provide benchmark samples for all projects. This ensures that the final deliverables conform to the agreed image quality standards, naming conventions and metadata specifications. We are also happy to supply a set of free digitisation samples for assessment and pricing purposes. Simply send a request either by email or via our contact page.
