Digitisation - Practical aspects

In addition to the “big” digital material categories, videos and 3D models, there are also more conventional digitisation methods you may already be familiar with:

  • Scanning of physical photographs
  • Scanning of building plans and drawings
  • Digitisation of text - Scanning as image, or text recognition


Digitising archival materials that already exist in museums requires both a practical approach with achievable goals, and concern for current best practices.

In Section Support, we have collated the most important and useful sources for the digitisation methods used with the RETOLD platorm.
