Delivering state of the art heritage digitisation services worldwide
Cutting-edge digitisation projects
Over the past 25 years, Arkhênum has continuously expanded its range of scanners to digitise all types of collections: 2D scanning, packshot format digitisation, 360° object scanning, microfilms and more.
Among our latest innovations is the ability to digitise documents that cannot be fully opened, thanks to our 45° scanning service. A suite of combined 180°/120° scanners combined with the 45° option, can be organized for our client’s projects.
We have also made significant strides in metadata enrichment through the use of artificial intelligence, particularly in handwriting recognition and image analysis. As a result, you can benefit from more accurate indexing of your documents and considerable time savings.


Support from collection preparation through to dissemination


Ensuring the physical and digital preservation of the collections in your care is your primary responsibility. But the other side of your mission—making them accessible and promoting their value—often requires specific expertise that may not be available in-house. Arkhênum can support you across a range of communication channels, from setting up digital libraries to producing editorial content, heritage films, commemorative books and even exhibition spaces. For each of your projects, we draw on our team of 100 experts to select the profiles best suited to your needs. This team includes archivists, historians, digitisation specialists, digital library managers and more.
