Digitization & Multispectral Imaging

805 Conservation works to ensure the safety of the original object by safe handling, cool light scanners and photography equipment. We can digitize anything from bulk photography and documents to large scale individual art pieces.

805 Conservation is also in partnership with MegaVision to provide multispectral imaging services. These services are primarily used to provide data on rate of light fading; and monitoring objects pre and post exhibition. Multispectral imaging can also be used to monitor aging of an item and to reveal hidden details.
