1991: Iraqi Scud missiles hit Israel


AUDIO CASSETTE TO HQ HERITAGE WAV FILES

One of our unique and interesting orders that arrived this week was in the form of an old audio cassette tape.  

On this tape is a recording of 1991: Iraqi Scud missiles attack that hit Israel during this very troubled time.

Our role is to convert the audio into an archival WAV file with audio restoration applied to remove the audio cassette issues of hiss and age related wear.

This order has sentimental value as both the client and his wife were in a hotel when the Scud missiles hit. 

Iraq had attacked two Israeli cities with Scud missiles, prompting fears that Israel may be drawn into the Gulf War.


Israel's largest city, Tel Aviv, and Haifa, its main seaport, were hit in the attacks, which began at 0300 local time (0100 GMT), when most residents were asleep.

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 ...
