Hi Jude

The BL has digitised hundreds of thousands of pages of print newspaper material as part of our Heritage Made Digital project (https://blogs.bl.uk/thenewsroom/2019/01/heritage-made-digital-the-newspapers.html )  and we also offer digitisation services to external customers. We have lots of experience of digitising fragile and unique material. You can find out more at https://www.bl.uk/digitisation-services or please do send me an email if you want more information.

Kind regards

Emma

Hello,

Would anyone like to recommend a UK-based scanning company either they have used on a project or know about that specialise in the high-quality scanning of historic newspapers? 

At Manx National Heritage we’re looking to add significantly more content to our online newspapers website (newspapers 1961-2020) https://www.imuseum.im/newspapers/ and are interested to hear about companies with a proven record of delivering scans from originals to this scale of project, i.e. 300-400k pages.

Thanks for any recommendations,

Jude.
