Your Digihub will be complete with state-of-the-art equipment to best suits your needs, including high-resolution scanners, specialised cameras, and digitisation software.
Hands-On Training
Empower your staff and volunteers with optional hands-on training sessions. NZMS experts will guide your team through best practices in handling and digitising diverse materials. From setting up equipment to managing digital files, our training ensures your institution can confidently (and independently) undertake digitisation projects.
Tailored Support
We understand that every institution is unique — that’s why we offer tailored support to meet your specific needs! Whether you require assistance with project planning, metadata creation, or ongoing technical assistance, our team is here to help. We can provide personalised guidance to ensure your digitisation efforts align with your institution’s goals and resources.
Unlocking Access and Preservation
Digitising your collections opens new possibilities for access and preservation. Digital archives can make your taonga accessible to researchers, educators, and the public from across the world. It also helps to safeguard against physical degradation by creating a permanent record of an item, preserving the integrity of your collection for future generations.

“Our Digihub allows the library to work in the heritage space a lot more. We’re in a district where people really value their heritage and for a long time the library’s collection simply consisted of a locked cabinet full of local history books… Now we can tap into the knowledge of the community and get them involved in creating our online archive. It’s fantastic being able to easily share Clutha stories on Recollect by uploading oral histories, photographs, books, and more!” – Tiffany Jenks, Community Heritage Coordinator, Clutha District Council
