Shrewsbury School - Testimonial
Shrewsbury
School is very happy to recommend Save Photo Ltd to any school or institution
intending to digitise their photographic collections or archives.

We
decided to digitise the photographic collection for a number of
reasons. Frequently these days’ requests
for information on Old Salopians come with a plea for any visual evidence of
their time at school – either photographs of themselves, their House, the site,
or sporting achievements. This meant a long
and tedious search through the relevant boxes; then cumbrous scanning and dispatching
of the image. We have a great deal of
photographic records, but these are dispersed in various boxes or else in
unwieldy and ancient photo albums. To be
able to access the relevant image by a few clicks will be an invaluable
resource.
The
plan is that the whole Salopian community will have access to this collection –
current members of staff, parents and, of course, Old Salopians.
Save
Photo Ltd provided an excellent service.
Some of our older photos were in very poor shape – ripped or
damaged. The company did the best they
could with these to deliver a high quality digital image. Other photographs came in enormous sizes or
else long scrolls of whole school groups.

The company managed to take separate photos of these unusually large
compositions and then stitch them together to form a single digitized
image. Many of our photos were pasted
into heavy albums, some at awkward angles, but again this difficulty was
surmounted. In short, the service
provided was very competent and professional.

Tony Hadley talks about National Photography Month
National Photography Month ambassador Tony Hadley recently appeared on the popular ITV chat show Daybreak sofa where nearly 900,00 people tuned in to watch Tony back the ‘Capture and Keep’ campaign.
Tony told Daybreak hosts Kate Garraway and Dan Lobb of his first hand experience of losing valuable pictures stored digitally following an expedition to Picchu Manchu. He is an enthusiastic supporter of the aims of National Photography Month and spoke with real feeling on the need ‘in this disposable digital age to take time taking photographs, getting them printed out and treasured in an album’
