§ Founded 2008 – Budapest
The treasures of the past, the technology of the future.
For more than 10 years we have been working with museums, libraries and archives, including the Hungarian National Museum, the National Széchényi Library and the National Archives of Hungary. We install equipment, train people to operate it, and also digitise on a contract basis.

§ 01 – Our mission
For us, digitisation is not copying but preservation. We save every detail of a centuries-old page – its fibres, its stains, its watermark – so that future generations see exactly what we see.
We work with equipment such as the Treventus ScanRobot and the Phase One iXH, but technology is only half the job. The other half is care: we handle every object as if it were irreplaceable. Because it is.
In more than 10 years we have saved more than 6 million pages – yet we approach every new project with the same attention we gave our first.

§ 02 – What we offer
We also offer contract digitisation.
Bound volumes, flat objects, transparent materials, 3D objects and multispectral examination: in our Budapest studio or on site at the collection, starting with a test capture.
§ 03 – Equipment
What we work with.
From robotic page turning to the 150-megapixel reproduction camera: we distribute and install this equipment, train users to operate it, and also use it ourselves in contract digitisation.

How we work.
Work starts with a test capture, and on request the finished material becomes searchable in the Heritage archive.
01
Test capture
“A test capture is worth more than the most eloquent specification.” The work starts with a sample capture of your own material, which shows what equipment and settings are needed.
02
In the studio or on site
We work in our studio on Reitter Ferenc utca, and we set up wherever the collection is: in the off-site store of the Ráday Collection, at the Otto von Habsburg Foundation or at the Batthyaneum Library (a branch of the National Library of Romania) in Alba Iulia.
03
Capture under conservation rules
We adapt the conditions to the object: we photographed the Coronation Mantle in protective clothing, with dust-free equipment, under lighting below 25 lux.
04
Delivery and publication
We deliver the images in the format the client requires. On request, we also publish them in searchable form in our own archive system, the Heritage digital archive.
05
Into the Heritage archive
On request, the quality-checked master copies go into the Heritage digital archive: a searchable, browsable archive for institutions, preserved for the long term, where the material can be retrieved and viewed at any time.
§ 07 – Let’s talk
Do you have material that you want to preserve?
Tell us what material it is and how much of it there is. With a test capture we will show you what you get, and then we will give you a tailored quote.
