Do you have valuable, fragile, or oversize collections materials to
digitize?
NEDCC OFFERS HIGH-QUALITY DIGITAL IMAGING SERVICES
FOR SPECIAL COLLECTIONS MATERIALS
**********************************************************
THE NORTHEAST DOCUMENT CONSERVATION CENTER (NEDCC) has expanded its Digital
Imaging services to include high-quality digitization of historic
photographs and visual materials with no size limitations - from the
smallest miniature book to oversized wall maps, architectural drawings, and
even quilts or other textiles.
NEDCC CAN DIGITIZE:
Photographic prints, film negatives, lantern slides, glass-plate negatives,
film slides, documents, works of art on paper, scrapbooks, illustrations in
bound volumes, fragile / rare bound volumes, atlases, wall maps,
architectural plans, two-dimensional objects such as textiles, and other
visual materials.
NEDCC'S EXPANDED DIGITAL IMAGING SERVICE FEATURES INCLUDE:
NEDCC's Sinar camera system captures RAW files sizes of up to 500 MB.
Derivatives such as TIFF or JPEG are created from RAW files. Built-in
software ensures even illumination over the entire object, eliminating hot
spots. Distortion-free images are produced using lenses made especially for
two-dimensional objects. Oversized objects can be digitized on a horizontal
surface, reducing the risks posed by hanging delicate objects. Long-lasting
ink jet prints can be created, using archival inks on acid-free paper in a
variety of finishes.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF COLLABORATION BETWEEN
NEDCC'S CONSERVATION AND IMAGING SERVICES:
Conservation treatment, digitization, and traditional reformatting of
original materials are performed here at the same facility, minimizing the
risks of transporting fragile objects. NEDCC's staff has years of
experience in the careful handling of valuable historic materials; its
facility provides sophisticated security and climate controls. NEDCC is a
national leader in training on digital preservation and can offer advice on
building sustainable digital collections and planning grant projects.
