Digital Services offers custom digitization of our materials for personal, non-profit and commercial use, including photographs, slides, manuscripts, maps and much more!
We also offer digitization services to individuals with an institutional affiliation for specialized scanning needs. Our large format scanner can digitize materials up to 60” by 48”, with the ability to handle even larger materials via additional photo editing services. Our book scanner allows for digitization of fragile bound materials without the wear and tear of a flatbed scan.
