A changing learning landscape

Schools, universities and colleges are harnessing the power of the digital world to create enriching experiences for students, staff, researchers and the public. These same institutions are the custodians of decades of historical educational materials, student works, research data and institutional heritage recorded on videotape, audio tape and film. That information is gathering dust on old tape and film media in faculties, libraries and archives, while the availability of machines capable of playing this content has disappeared.

The opportunities for repurposing this historical audiovisual material in the education sector have never been greater. However, it needs to be accessible in a digital format.

Knowledge ready to share

If you’re looking to transform your archive, DAMsmart’s professional services have been used extensively by the education sector to digitise a wide range of and film, video and audio formats.

We provide you a safe set of hands that have proven experience working with unique and diverse audiovisual collections.
