Notice Title

Upgrade primary digitisation lab to Cultural Heritage Standards

Notice Description

Our primary digitisation lab is used for a wide variety of projects working with both bound and flat material, as well as negatives and slides. It is currently equipped with a Phase One XF / IQ3 100MP camera, mounted on an iCam Guardian copystand. We are looking to upgrade to a 150MP dedicated cultural heritage camera system to enable us to maximise the level of detail we can capture, and to improve workflow efficiency.
