The library offers a digitisation service using the ArchivePro camera scanner. In addition to standard formats, we can scan materials that are otherwise difficult to digitise with conventional equipment, such as large-format items – up to A1 – and bound or fragile materials.
ArchivePro is especially well-suited for larger volumes of material, such as archival series. The image quality meets the standards of the National Archives for long-term digital preservation.
The scanning service is subject to a fee, as larger scanning projects are handled by our hourly staff in collaboration with the archivists at the Library. Larger digitisation projects can be planned in the DigiStudio, for example as part of a research project.
Feel free to contact us with questions or project ideas by emailing library@abo.fi – we’ll help you assess your needs and schedule.
