Testimonials

The Ark recently digitised our collection of 8mm and 16mm cinefilms (around 100 in total) and we couldn’t be happier with the whole process. Caroline has been so helpful throughout - from responding to our initial request for a quote, taking into account our budget and timescales, to providing updates - which has been fantastic. The team finished the digitisation really quickly and went above and beyond to ensure that the digital files matched our specifications. The quality of the files is fantastic and we’re so looking forward to sharing them.

Essex Record Office

We engaged the Ark to digitise our collection of vintage 16mm film and are delighted with the results. We needed a flexible approach, as we had only an approximate idea of what the reels contained and some of them had vinegar syndrome. The Ark’s communication throughout the project was exemplary, the quality of the digitised outputs far exceeded our expectations, and their prices were very reasonable.

Association of Lighthouse Keepers

We are currently working with The Ark to have a large quantity of historic 16mm & 35mm films restored and digitised. They have been incredibly helpful in the preparation process to best identify and accommodate our requirements. Their added value, and very reasonable pricing structure have made it possible to work to a fixed budget. Thanks to regular communication, high quality work and excellent customer service, everything is running smoothly!
