TownsWeb Archiving offers a Glass Plate Negatives scanning service.
Digitising old, fragile glass plate negatives and lantern slides is no problem for our accredited technicians, who hold years of experience scanning glass plates and understand the unique challenges they present.
Our technicians are professionally trained in the handling of this extremely fragile medium and are able to successfully convert to digital format most items regardless of condition – including deteriorating glass plates which may have peeling emulsion, cracks and scratches.
We understanding how delicate and vulnerable glass plate negatives are, and we appreciate that you may not want to put your collections at risk by transporting them. This is why we offer a specialist on-site digitisation service, where our technicians will travel to your premises with our scanning equipment and scan your collection on-site.
Once you have a digital library of images we can help you index, transcribe and add appropriate metadata. We can help you maintain your image collection by importing the files and metadata into our PastView content management system
