Making a smooth transition from the traditional to the digital is, for many institutions, a daunting prospect. Over the next several years, every organization with existing visual holdings will have to "think digitally." All face the same critical challenges: how to create high-quality image resources of lasting value; how to contend with the special requirements of large collections and demanding source materials, and how to integrate images with associated descriptive information. Equally important will be the most effective ways to manage and use these growing assets.

Luna's unparalleled reputation for quality scanning and digital photography combined with over a decade of experience building image collections for some of the most highly reputable institutions worldwide make Luna's imaging professionals a valuable resource to help ensure your own project's success.
