About Digital Archiving
Connecting people with trusted digitisation services and preservation knowledge
How we are Unifying the Sector
The Digital-Archiving website is being created to solve a growing and widely recognised problem: people and organisations hold enormous amounts of analogue audio-visual material—tapes, films, discs, and recordings—but often have no clear idea what they have, what condition it’s in, or where to go for trustworthy digitisation services.
After years of seeing individuals, families, archives, and even professional studios struggle to identify formats, source the right equipment, or find reputable service providers, it became clear that the industry lacked a single, reliable, easy-to-understand online resource.

Simplifying a Complex Sector

In short, this website is being created to make digitisation accessible, understandable, and reliable for everyone who needs it.
