Heritage and special collections cannot be treated like standard document streams. The physical condition of the material, its cultural value, the variation within the collection and the demands placed on digital presentation all make the approach more substantial. That is exactly where 2dA designs the workflow accordingly.
In heritage projects, the goal is not just to produce images. It is also about protecting the original and increasing access to knowledge, stories and context. Good digitisation reduces physical handling, increases visibility and enables research and use in new ways.
Many collections vary in format, condition, material type, level of description and intended use. Some items require calm handling, others demand specific image quality, colour management, restoration or additional metadata context. That is why 2dA assesses each collection for risks, treatment, capture, quality level and access needs.
Heritage is not helped by a technically correct scan alone. Context is often needed too: how the material is organised, which metadata are required, how rights or conditions of use are made clear and how digital presentation connects to research or public use. That is exactly where the added value of a good heritage trajectory is created.
Attention to fragile and valuable material, a workflow aligned to collection and condition, quality and metadata considered together, and an eye for future use and presentation. That is exactly the line in which 2dA works.
