Cambs Digitise, a Cambridgeshire-based media digitisation specialist, has recently completed a secure legacy media digitisation project for a leading Cambridge technology and product development consultancy, supporting the preservation and accessibility of historic audiovisual material.
Operating within the Cambridge technology cluster, the organisation held valuable content on legacy VHS and optical media formats that had become increasingly difficult to access as playback equipment and formats aged. The project focused on safeguarding this material while ensuring it could be easily accessed and archived in modern digital environments.
The work involved the careful handling and conversion of legacy media into contemporary digital formats, carried out in line with Cambs Digitise’s established data-handling procedures. Particular emphasis was placed on confidentiality, data security, and quality control throughout the process, reflecting the needs of technology-led and research-driven organisations.
Michael Smith, Founder of Cambs Digitise Ltd, said:
“Many established technology organisations hold decades of valuable information on legacy media. Helping businesses within the Cambridge cluster protect and modernise those assets — securely and professionally — is a key part of what we do.”
Cambs Digitise works with businesses, institutions, and individuals across Cambridgeshire and beyond, offering professional digitisation of video, audio, film, photographic, and document formats. Alongside heritage and family archive work, the company increasingly supports corporate, research, and technology organisations with secure, well-documented digitisation workflows.
This project reflects a growing need among mature, innovation-driven Cambridge companies to safeguard historic content while ensuring it remains usable in today’s digital environments.
