Why digitise with the British Library?

The British Library has been at the forefront of digitisation and digital preservation for over 20 years. During this time we have successfully digitised numerous archives and invaluable heritage materials such as the Magna Carta.
There are so many reasons to digitise: opening up access to rare and fragile collections, reaching new online audiences and creating opportunities for income generation, preserving precious originals and future-proofing fragile heritage for generations to come.
We are experienced in handling and digitising a range of formats and our team of experts (curators, experienced technicians, imaging specialists, conservators and more) can guide you every step of the way.

Put your treasures in our hands.
