Digitization

To help Repositories preserve content of vulnerable and/or high-use physical media in many formats, several Harvard Library departments offer the following digitization services:

Still digital capture of paper documents, books, photographs, manuscripts, artwork, and other non-time-based media: Imaging Services (a unit of Harvard Library Digital Strategies and Innovation)

Digitization of time-based media including audio-recordings, videorecordings, and motion picture film: Media Preservation

Some library materials need physical and intellectual preparation prior to digitization.  For related services, see Preparation for digitization.
