Genus Archive Digitise Details
Since our humble beginnings in 1974 as a Microfilm Bureau, Genus has remained a privately-owned family company, formally known as The Microfilm Shop. 45 years later we are the exclusive reseller of Fujifilm to the Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA) region. We manufacture and distribute microfilm consumables and equipment around the world. Due to our involvement in a number of very large microfiche, aperture card and roll microfilm scanning projects, including – 2.5 million aperture cards, 1 million fiche and 30,000 rolls of microfilm scanned in one year alone, our position in the microfilm industry is still going strong.Over the last 20 years Genus has expanded into other areas offering Digitisation Services, Digitisation equipment, Service Support, Software solutions and Print. Part of our expansion has included the construction of 3 new digitisation studios and the addition of 15 digitisation and scanning staff. Our studio based in the midlands has been specifically designed for the digitisation of heritage and modern material. All digitisation and storage take place in a humidity and temperature-controlled environment with correct protocols followed to ensure the best possible handling of material. The studio has seen some amazing specialist documents pass through, including Births, Deaths and Marriage registers, WW2 Trench Newspapers, Save the Children Archive, Eighteenth-Century Maps, the whole Archive of a National Theatre, Soldiers Postcards, Royal Navy Diaries, WW1 Letters from the Front, Photo Albums and Police Gazettes.Working with several independent consultants and major archives and libraries across the UK and Ireland helped us devise a robust methodology which focuses on the conservation of material through to the final digital output. Our methods of capture have been approved by our clients, who include The Wellcome Trust, Getty Images, Rolls Royce, Sandwell Register Office, Leicester County Council, Bangor University and more.
