When collections don’t fit
in one box

Most archives don’t arrive neatly packaged in a single format. They are often a mix of videotape, film, audio, and born-digital content, each with its own challenges, risks, and handling requirements. DAMsmart has the expertise, infrastructure, and workflows to deliver collection digitisation for mixed media archives, providing one seamless preservation solution under a single program of work.

/01

Experience across formats

We’ve worked with collections that span decades of technology, from fragile open-reel audio and broadcast videotape to 16mm and 35mm film, as well as modern digital carriers. Our team understands the quirks of each medium and how to achieve the best results while maintaining consistency across the entire digitised collection.

/02

Streamlined project management

Handling mixed media requires careful coordination. We barcode and track every item, regardless of format, ensuring full visibility throughout the project. Our workflows are designed to bring together different carriers under one project structure, giving clients a single point of accountability and clear reporting across their collection digitisation project.

/03

The right technology

Our facilities are equipped to manage every format, with broadcast decks, film scanners, audio transfer systems, and digital migration tools all supported by in-house engineering. This means your entire collection can be digitised and preserved in-house, reducing risk and ensuring consistent quality.

/04

Consistent quality control

Even when a project spans multiple formats, our manual and file-based QC processes ensure every item meets the same preservation standards and is ready for reuse. Clients can be confident that the final digitised collection will be reliable, consistent, and prepared for long-term access.
