Archival Digitization

TDAG specializes in film and photo digitization services for a wide range of clients, including corporations, legacy brands, sports teams, museums, libraries, and private collections. 

We have perfected high-speed, high-resolution image scanning for film substrates through proprietary workflows. Our process has earned the trust of signature archival collections, including the Oprah Winfrey/Harpo Studios Archive, Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library, Billy Graham Archive, Society of American Baseball Research Image Archive, Chicago Cubs, Newberry Library, and many others.

TDAG has the ability to capture, digitize, and process over 10,000 film images daily, making us an ideal partner for high-volume archival projects. We bring efficiency, expertise, and a commitment to excellence in every step of the process.

TDAG's image scanning process:

Precision, Care, and Quality

We understand the value of your photographic materials and take every precaution to ensure their safety during the digitization process. Unlike commercial scanning operations that use equipment that may bend and damage negatives, our advanced film scanning solutions are designed to handle materials with the utmost care.

Our Intelligent Image Capture system combines RAW rapid capture photography stations with technically advanced workflows which greatly enhance image quality and augment search through extended metadata. All film scanning projects will meet and exceed Federal Agencies Digital Guidelines (FADGI) and Metamorfoze for resolution and best practices in film digitization.
