We offer digitisation in the form of, for example, photostats and OCR scanning of materials. Digitise a photo for your next book release or a letter for a research project.

Use the form below to send us your request for the material that you would like digitised. Then we find out if it is possible and return with a possible price.
You are also welcome to contact us regarding major digitisation projects involving more than prints (photostats).

Practical information
- You can expect a response within 10 business days.
- When you purchase a digitisation of material from the library's collections, we reserve the right to subsequently make the digital copy freely available to all other users. That way, they can also benefit from digitisation.
Competencies in digitisation of text and image
We work with photographic reproduction equipment, different types of scanners and advanced multispectral digitisation equipment.
Our competencies cover image capture up to A0 format, scanning negatives and slides, text scanning from books and loose sheets with OCR (text recognition) and much more.
In addition to orders from the library's users, we also work with digitisation projects for other cultural institutions.
