Digitisation of specialist material

We’ve digitised many prestigious archives – browse our case studies.

Here’s what our customers have to say about us

'In addition to being a source for rare material, the British Library’s scanning services are excellent, producing high-quality images to the specifications we require.' 
Paul Waldock, ProQuest

'We were delighted with the British Library service offering onsite photography at our convenience: it was efficient and enjoyable, and produced the most beautiful images.'
John Sunderland, Friends of Malmesbury Abbey

'Thanks to the British Library and the West Bank Heritage Trust, priceless photos, correspondence and fascinating items from my great, great, great, grandfather’s travels and life have been preserved for everyone to view.'
