Please take time to read through these prices carefully, to make sure you understand what you are ordering. All prices include VAT.
Price to scan the original item
If we do not already have a digital scan of the item then we will need to create one. The prices below are for creating high quality colour digital JPG files at 300 dpi. The prices relate to the size of the original document you are asking us to scan, not to the size of the copy.
• Original paper document or print up to A3 in size: £5.70
• Original paper document or print between A3 and A1 in size: £10.20
• Original paper document or print larger than A1: please contact us for details.
• 35mm negative, slide or transparency scanned at 1800 dpi: £5.70
• 19th century lantern slide, scanned at 1000 dpi: £5.70
• Glass plate negative: £8.10
We are happy to give a quote for digitising any sort of document, no matter what sort of object, photograph or volume it is. Please contact us to discuss more.
If you would like your images scanned at lower quality then we can revise our prices. Similarly we can provide very competitive quotes for large scale orders, where the bulk nature of the work means that we can cut the cost of scanning each image. Please contact us for details.

There will be a postage and packing charge for delivery of hard copy prints, the charge depending on the size of your order. We will let you know when you place an order.
Urgent orders
We usually aim to complete orders within three weeks, but during busy times orders may take over a month. Large orders in particular may take additional time. We reserve the right to impose a 25% surcharge on orders which the customer requests to have delivered sooner.
Re-touching the images
Many old photographs and negatives are damaged, faded, creased, broken, or covered in dust and dirt. Digitially removing these marks from a scanned image is a challenging and demanding professional task. The amount of time it takes varies tremendously, depending on the size and condition of the original.
• Re-touching a digital image: £36.00 per hour
We will not undertake such work without discussing it with you first, and giving you an estimate of the time such work will take for your specific order.
