Creating Discoveries
Digitizing, enriching, and enabling: discover the virtually limitless possibilities for special collections, archives, and specimens. Picturae designs and provides the best solutions and services for valuable, vulnerable heritage.
The Digitization Journey
Picturae offers solutions exclusively for cultural heritage and natural history collections and can use our 25 years worth of experience to design a custom solution for your institution.
Bigger audiences await the information in your physical collection, and Picturae can connect physical to digital to make this possible. By providing a holistic digitization journey, Picturae transforms a physical collection into a fully digital, searchable, and accessible tool.
That is a future worth planning for, and Picturae is here to help you get there.
Our Services
Picturae digitizes everything from books, maps and photo archives, to fragile herbarium specimens, brittle negatives, micro-formats and glass slides. From natural history collections to municipal archives, large scale or small, we can digitize your items at our headquarters in the Netherlands or New Jersey, or set up on location anywhere in the world – from California to Sydney!
Preparing History for the Future
At Picturae, we combine dedication to cultural heritage with a passion for technology. We may design state-of-the-art digitization systems, but our true strength lies in mechanical ingenuity. We thrive in creative, inventive customization. An Engineer who orders their own circuit board because they want to continue working on a solution at home – that is Picturae. Inventive, hands-on, and enthusiastic.
