Metadata Tagging and Data Enrichment

Our digital archivists have a deep understanding of taxonomy structures and utilize time-tested processes and automation to quickly and efficiently add descriptive metadata to digitized files, significantly enhancing search results and the usability of data. We then go a step further, enhancing metadata with deeper descriptions that enable you to draw greater insights from digitized data.

Web-Based Access

What good are digital records if you can't access them? With our proprietary, fully integrated digital preservation and asset management system, we help you capture, organize, manage and share all the good stuff in your archive. Whether it's digitized images, text-searchable documents or audio/video files — our web-based system uses our proprietary S2W (Scan-2-Web) Platform™ to make your files accessible to your global team.

WHY CHOOSE HERITAGE WERKS?

  • State-of-the-Art Archival Digitization Equipment: We utilize the most advanced archival digitization equipment to ensure the best quality preservation and digitization of your historical documents, photos, film, audio and video. There are less than a dozen facilities in North America that utilize such equipment and only one archival services firm — and yes, we're it.

Critical components of the process include one-to-one matching of physical records to digital records and organization and presentation of relevant data through a fully integrated interface.
  • We're experts in digital preservation and have the people and processes in place to deliver exceptional value for all of your digitization needs.
