Preserving Historical Speeches from the late Sir Stirling Moss!

WE HAVE BEEN PRESERVING HISTORICAL SPEECHES FROM THE LATE SIR STIRLING MOSS! and many other important historical footage and audio of historical and academic value.










It takes between 10-15 years for audio and video content to start the degradation and become format obsolete. Many libraries, archives and museums currently hold enormous time based media. Consider environmental issues surrounding storage and this becomes a major issue. Quite frightening when the historical content could be lost forever.

It doesn't have to be though. Our team are here to support.


PRESERVING TIME BASED MEDIA

Audio and video materials of significant cultural and historical value can sometimes fall under the hands of people who lack specialised training. At Oxford Digitisation Centre we understand the challenges of preserving time based media. We support collections from several units to the 1000's expertly handling the contents and converting them to formats suitable for archiving and online viewing.

TIME IS RUNNING OUT!

We understand the costs of preservation can be high but at our studio we support clients with cost effective solutions to help ensure these collections are not put off to another time.  It must be noted that time is running out and working with us we can support all your digitisation needs.

WALTER HAYES CBE

Examples of our works include Walter Hayes CBE of whom is well known for being appointed Chairman of Aston Martin which he saved from extinction through conceiving and taking into production the DB7. 

We were responsible for the audio restoration of many historical speeches from Sir Jackie Stewart, Sir Stirling Moss, The Rt. Hon. Peter Brooke CH MP and Richard Hayes himself who contacted us to restore the works.

You will find our restorations on https://walterhayes.co.uk. 
Walter Hayes

Definitely worth a good read and listen!
Other examples include:

  • ·        Pitt Rivers Museum converting their motion and cine film of indigenous cultures.
  • ·        Early radio broadcast tapes.
  • ·        Live recordings of musical performances, speeches and lectures.
  • ·        Unique recordings of historical content
  • ·        Recordings on fragile carriers

We believe strongly that now is the time to look into your collections and start the process of digitising your historical and even personal archives. Our services also include photographic and film scanning, duplication and printing.


Warm regards
Cheryl

History of Real Tennis - The Royal Game

History of Real Tennis “To see Good Tennis! What divine joy Can fill our leisure, or our minds employ? Let other people play at other things; The King of Games is still the Game of Kings” from Parker’s Piece by J.K. Stephen Recently we were requested to digitise photographs for a client who's son had refurbished a Victorian Real Tennis Court.  What followed was a fascinating history of Real Tennis. Real Tennis is still almost the same sport as the Royal Game that was played with such great enthusiasm at all the princely courts of Europe and by a large contingent of the urban elite between roughly 1500-1800.  After 1800 the interest in the game dwindled on the continent, but it survived in Great Britain. After 1874, when the new game of lawn tennis swept the country, royal tennis became more fashionable again among the English aristocracy.  By the year 1900 the popularity of lawn tennis was so great that it was universally called "tennis" and the old game ha...

Photograph Archiving for Oxford United Football Club

Scanning Archival Photographic Images - Community Heritage Projects Our archive department has been busy working on Oxford United Football Club's archive of photographs.   Before we scan the photos, it is important to consider the way in which the files will be organised. Either by date, event, image size and how the files will be names.    Handling and Cleaning Photographs Our archive suite ensures to carefully handle the photographic historical items by their edges to avoid damage from fingerprints.  Fingerprints are a significant threat to photographic materials and can be very difficult to correct. Fingerprints may not manifest in photographic materials until long after the actual incident of touching the surface.  Air blowers are used to remove dust and a lint-free wipe or cloth to clean the scanning bed before scanning. Our archive technicians wear cotton or latex gloves when handling historical items.  Dust on historical items and scanning beds ...
