Digitization of Saint Mary’s College Photographic Archive
We get all kinds of inquiries for digitization services, but sometimes the circumstances make us cringe! In this case, Martin Cohen, the archivist at Saint Mary’s College of California, called for a quote to scan 3,300 photographic prints ranging in size from 2x2 inches to 4x10 feet. It seems they had previously scanned all these prints themselves over a period of many years, but after a server crash, they were unable to restore the files from backups, so all had been lost.
