Three labs, one mission

Our services are supported by a program that encompasses three broad families of content types: paper-based materials, born-digital files, and time-based media. While the program arms share a common mission, and deliver integrated and consistent services to users, the digitization work itself is organized under three distinct labs.

Dive in to the details about what makes each lab distinctive.

Academy Hall at Stanford Redwood City is home to the media digitization facilities and the base for born-digital capture and processing operations.

The digital imaging operations are primarily based in Green Library on Stanford's historic campus.

Each lab develops its own workflows, best practices, technical expertise, and well-equipped facilities. The integrated approach of cross-lab coordination and format-specific specialization ensures that even the most complicated digitization requirements receive the utmost expertise and care.
