Preserving Business History
Who We Serve
Businesses, Owners, Founders
You not only want to build a successful company, but you also want to leave a lasting legacy in your field. A company is meant to grow and expand upon its knowledge year after year, but this can only be done when your past knowledge is protected and available for years to come by preserving business history through digitization.
Protect Your Business History Now and Forever
Don’t lose your company’s entire collection of important historical records and information to a disaster or natural deterioration over time. Act now and create a digital collection that will allow you to use the information from the past to keep growing your company in the future. Our team at Anderson Archival recognizes the importance of your corporate archives and is committed to ensuring you have a digital collection that will last beyond the physical items.
Why Digitize Your Business History Now?
-
Long-Term Investment
Digital Preservation is a long-term investment for your company’s historical legacy. Do it right the first time with trained professionals who are experienced in digitizing and digitally preserving corporate archives and who will create a custom workflow to fit your collection. -
Valuable Marketing Assets
Photographs and sales materials from the past are a valuable marketing asset highlighting your business longevity and success. We can create high-resolution, quality images for your next marketing campaign or big anniversary from the deteriorating photos and memorabilia gathering dust in a storage room. -
Save Storage Costs
The administrative costs of storing and managing a physical archive are significant and only grow as times goes on. Digitization will help you save money in the long run as you no longer need to continually spend money on the storage and maintenance of a vast physical collection.

Preserve Your Rich Heritage Amidst Transition
Is your business growing or in transition? Digitize now to ensure your history is captured and preserved, not discarded. Countless companies begin new eras with a clean slate only to later regret their lack of historical context and rich roots. -
Important Information Captured from Everyone
When employees move on, important information can leave with them. Anderson Archival can help you create a digital asset management system for your team so this information isn’t lost forever. -
Don't Limit Yourself and Your Business
A physical collection has limitations. You only have access onsite, and materials can only be used by one person at a time. Keep productivity high by digitizing to always give your entire team access to information. -
Save Time, Create Efficiencies
Don’t waste your valuable time and resources looking for separate vendors to digitize, organize your files, create digital solutions, rehouse your materials, and much more. Anderson Archival is a “one stop shop” for digital preservation.
Ensure Your Company Legacy Is Protected and Preserved
Envision your business well into the future, where team members are able to appreciate stories from a past they feel connected to along with immense pride at the long history their firm represents. Preserving the history of your business is not just about the hard facts and numbers, it is the legacy you leave behind for future generations of employees and clients. Don’t let the hard work and accomplishments of the past get forgotten.
The Process for Preserving Your Business History
Because we know that shoving the irreplaceable mementos of your company success in a box and shipping them off to become a barcode in a giant mystery warehouse full of strangers is not what our clients want, we focus on the human element first and always.
1. Personalized Consultation
Trained and certified archival consultants will work with your team to understand the specific needs and unique stories behind your business's history and memorabilia. A collaborative project plan and documented requirements are delivered for approval after conversations about the special elements of your history.
2. Archival Digitization
Using state-of-the-art technology, our team meticulously digitizes each item, treating everything with the utmost care, using the same archival equipment as renowned institutions like the Smithsonian. We send samples for your approval and allow you to select the settings, filters, and file naming conventions that work best for you.
3. Digital Legacy Curation
Once digitized, your now digital treasures can then be curated into a personalized legacy portfolio. The possibilities are endless and our staff of archive specialists with advanced degrees and education can work with you to weave your business narrative into an enriching digital story designed to be accessible and preserved for all time.
