Research and Acquisition



Research is important to identifying and planning historical programs. This is undertaken both within your organization and public archives, to obtain a range of content suitable for your programs' objectives.





Scanning Archival images

Scanning historical material requires special care and method to ensure preservation of valuable originals and to enable them to be properly restored.







Image Restoration

Faded historical pictures are brought back to life through a restoration process that removes scratches, cracks and image defects, and restores the contrast to create high-quality output. Even faded historical pictures that may have previously been unusable can now be restored for publication or exhibit.






Hand-tinting Historical Images

One of our speciality services is converting black and white historical images to color using digital or hand-applied color. The style varies from subtle to postcard style to modern color, depending on your project's design intent. Notably this allows the use of historical content in modern design if color is required by the design program.


Editorial Services



Captions and narrative stories are important to historical images, providing educational information and relevancy. We create caption card, integrate copy in image borders, or produce sign plaques and graphic depending on your design requirements.








Digital Asset Management (DAM)

Content management database software is used to manage the selection and content development of historical programs. this allows us to track information, rights, credits, placement and other details about the images, and for you and your team to review the content on-line as the selection process is conducted.





Rights Management

The use of content for commercial projects is often governed by the source of the images, such as an public archive. We negotiate rights governing your intended use of content to ensure proper access and use of the content from outside sources as well as photographers or artist with whom you may have had past relationships.
