JISC Digital Media contacted a number of digitisation service providers for more information about the services they supply. The following list is not an endorsement of any of the services, but is provided to help you identify services to evaluate in more detail.
If you are a member of the JISC Digital Media mailing list, you may find other members have direct experience with these or other service providers. You may also find it useful to read JISC Digital Media's To Outsource or to Digitise In-house?
We asked the service provider to use up to 100 words to summarise and promote their service, and to indicate how they can satisfy the needs of those within HE/FE and the cultural heritage sector.
