Consultative Approach for Custom Digitization Services
Our consultative process helps you identify the best digitization strategies, including scanning fragile items, rare manuscripts, oversized documents, and intact yearbooks. We analyze your collection and recommend archival scanning solutions that maximize value and consider cost, ensuring you receive personalized guidance—not generic packages.
Different machines capture different results. Are you looking for museum-quality accuracy (far right image) or copies that look amazing on a back-lit screen? Let’s talk about goals and how you plan to use the digitized images.
Black and white, color, greyscale, and museum accuracy. Each has pros and cons for a collection.
Understanding the specific goal for a digitized collection feeds decisions including methods of capture and processing. Are you looking for museum-quality, accurate color, high resolution, or is accessibility, reprinting, or restoration even more of a motivation?
Certified Archivists and Document Preservation Specialists
Every project is managed by certified archivists and experienced document preservation professionals. Whether consulting or performing digital conversion, our team’s expertise means your fragile and rare materials are handled with care, accuracy, and security. Trust Anderson Archival for peace of mind and exceptional preservation results.
Even when lower-cost options are selected, Anderson Archival’s archivists are available to review materials and direct projects.
Digitizing Fragile and Rare Items Other Vendors Won’t Touch
We recognize that for many materials, modern paper, books in good condition, photographs, etc., you have options when looking for the right vendor. Many are lower cost! When it makes sense for a project, Anderson Archival embraces these vendor partners to collaborate on a solution.
But what about material that most other scanning vendors won’t touch?
Fragile historical letters, oversized historical materials such as maps and blueprints, and intact (not disbound) yearbook digitization are often a dead end in the search for a digitization provider.
If your collection includes delicate, rare, treasured, or oversized items, Anderson Archival offers specialized scanning services that many digitization vendors cannot provide. We protect and digitize every piece, expanding your digital archive without compromising the integrity of original materials.
One Stop Shop for Archival Project Management & Collection Utilization
Beyond digitization alone, Anderson Archival provides comprehensive project management, handling every phase of your digitization process—from initial consultation to vendor coordination and delivery. Our holistic approach means you save time and resources while receiving guidance on how to utilize and manage your digital collection for research, access, and preservation.
Even if your project appears complicated and thorny with different collection materials and methods in play, vendors for capturing, reprinting, coders and hosting, that complexity can all be absorbed by a single contact, your Anderson Archival consultant.
