Bicester Historical Society - Glass Plate Negative Digitisation

The Preservation of Bicester Glass Plate Negatives to Archive Outputs.

Working with Bicester History Society, we are preparing high quality glass plate negative digitisation of rare footage from Bicesters local history.

Our archive specialist archive technicians are skilled in supporting our clients with the digitisation and scanning of fragile glass plate negative heritage materials. We are able to offer a scanning service for glass plate and lantern slides upto A3 in size.

Glass plates are first gently cleaned before being converted from negative images to positives. All slides are digitised to HQ TIFF images before we prepare Adobe Archival technique adjusting contrast and sharpness to ensure that you receive the clearest possible digital images.

Output images can be converted into digital formats to include RAW, JPEG, JPEG2000, TIFF, BMP and Adobe PDF in full colour or greyscale. Indexing, Metadata tagging, OCR and all forms of image processing can be offered as with all our digitisation services.

Highly recommended in Oxfordshire and Thames Valley as one of the leading scanning and archive specialists, we hold 5***** testimonials from University of Oxford, B4 Business, Ashmolean and Pitt Rivers Museums to include thousands of consumer clients.

Kind regards

How to Digitise Glass Plate Negatives | Oxford Archiving

The Preservation of The Curnock Glass Plate Negatives Introduction Our services ( @OxfordDuplicat1 ) are highly recommended in the UK for specialist photographic film scanning. Trusted to our company, we are preparing The Curnock glass plate collection, held at Oxford Brookes University and part of the @MethodistGB collection. Almost all archives possess some type of photographic collection. Many individuals typically think of “photographs” as plastic-based negatives and slides; but these photographic techniques are relatively recent inventions. Prior to the invention of cellulose nitrate film in 1903, photographic emulsions were made on glass supports. These glass supports are typically referred to as glass plate negatives. The term “glass plate negative” refers to two separate formats: the collodion wet plate negative and the gelatin dry plate.

Vellum Document Deed Scanning in Oxfordshire

One of our most interesting orders came in today in the form of a vellum property deed dating back nearly 200 years. We were asked to prepare a digital copy so our client could preserve the original.

This meant the original's replica could be matched 100% to the original, safeguarding fraud. What is vellum? Vellum is prepared animal skin or "membrane", typically used as a material for writing or printing on, to produce single pages, scrolls, codices or books. The word is derived from the Latin word vitulinum meaning "made from calf". Typically deeds are folded and stored. Alth...

Preserving Family Memories - caring for your heritage

Memories are an important part of all our lives. Old letters, photographs, scrapbooks, slides and negatives, glass plates, cine film, audio-visual tapes and many other things help us to recall our past and the history of our family and communities. All of these things, however, are subject to decay and eventual destruction if they are not cared for properly. Oxford Duplication Centre in Kidlington can support all our clients with digitisation of all consumers, corporate and heritage scanning and digitisation. Please do email cheryl@oxfordduplicationcentre.com or contact us 01865 457000 to discuss your project. Letters, Diaries, Books and Documents. Many families preserve letters, diaries, or other written documents in which family members discuss their life and times.
