Slides or photographic prints with historic value, though often from current shoots, are often stored unused and exposed to the ravages of time in physical archives. The aim of an archiving project is usually to preserve this material for a long period of time and to make it available in digital form.
Together with qualified partners, VIT offers viewing, development and also long-term archiving of physical archives. Interdisciplinary know-how from historians and imaging and metadata specialists typically flows into such projects.
During an initial phase the material is viewed and classified and triage of the material to be preserved takes place. During the second phase, on-site or in our offices, the material is digitalised (scanning), optimised (retouche) and, where necessary, documented (transcription) in relation to meta information.

During a third phase the digital material can be fed into archiving and MAM solutions together with the corresponding metadata.
Historic material particularly worth preserving is also archived on a long-term basis using microfilming or redundant digital memory.
Wherever necessary, product images can be masked and hence placed against any background. The masking is done by hand and is therefore of high quality.
