Preserving Your

Company’s Story

MiVuw is a comprehensive service that provides you with a visual record of your businesses story, from the early years up to today.

We will collect together all your displayed photos, filed images and suitable documents, then scan them in high resolution before restoring them for inclusion in a physical book together with digital files. We even provide the option to colourise these images to add a level of detail that would otherwise be missed.

As time passes, these images would be lost or forgotten, now they are preserved as part of your business legacy.

The Process

We start by collecting all relevant photos (including slides and negatives) which may be hanging on the company walls, in storage or on files (the majority of this we will do in conjunction with your team). We will then record the relevant details for each image (date, location, circumstances, etc.) which will be included in the final book. We will also include historical documents that might be included as part of this process.

Once these have been collected we will commence the scanning process for these photos and documents in high resolution. We prefer to do this at your site. You will then be able to return these photos, etc to their original location.

The next step is to restore each image as required. This includes faded and sepia photos as well as those that may have been damaged over time. We will include a copy of the original image together with the restored file.

There is also the option to colourise these historic portraits. We use AHI (Augmented Human Intelligence) which gives us the ability to re-create an image in full colour, which represents the people and time as realistically as possible. This allows us to colourise each photo, and correct any changes, so as to ensure its integrity with the original image.

Once restoration of the images has been completed we will commence collating these, along with relevant information into the discussed layout and sequence. This will include dates and circumstances together with any provided background information. We will then finalise layout and have this proof read along with yourselves. Any amendments or additional inclusions can be made at this time.

With the assembly of the layout complete, we will commence turning this into a digital file which will include a flipbook version together with digital files for each image.

Finally, we will provide you with a full hard cover printed book. This will be in high quality printing and can be made available in multiple copies for physical sharing.
