There are many online companies that provide media conversion services (sorry, ATS cannot recommend a specific company). Professional services are a good option if you are pressed for time, lack access to conversion technology, or your materials require special handling. These companies offer varying services based on media types, specialized processes, expertise, and delivery options. They may also offer bulk processing services if the number of records or media is significant. Be sure to carefully review a company’s terms of service (keep in mind that there may be some risk and liability waivers in trusting another party with your original materials).
Academic Technology Services retired its analog to digital conversion technologies in the 2010s. However, the Equipment Loan Center (ELC ) may still have technology available that can be reserved for the conversion of analog pictures, slides, and film to a digital format. They may also have a range of digital cameras as well as camera stands.
