The Hills & Saunders archive contains over 90,000 dry plate glass negatives.  
Our unique ‘Digitiser®’ system has allowed us to digitally preserve this rare and delicate archive by safely capturing digital images of each plate in a fraction of the time traditional methods of digitising glass plate negatives would require.

Archive Digital used the ‘Digitiser®’ solution to digitise and convert to searchable PDF the entire contemporary metadata sources archive, comprising the original ledgers, hand-written notes and index cards.  

We completed the project by linking the metadata sources to each digital image captured from the glass plate archive.
