Heritage, moved into the 21st century
Archive documents decay, objects get lost, buildings change. Digitisation creates a faithful, measurable and accessible copy — a form of conservation that never touches the original and does not depend on a single place.
Three lines of work
Documents and photographs
Archive-grade scanning of documents, maps, plans and historical photographs, with description and dating.
Heritage objects
Photogrammetry and 3D models for museum pieces, architectural elements and inscriptions.
Buildings and fortifications
3D scanning and digital surveys of the bastions, walls and buildings of the Alba Carolina Citadel.
From object to public archive
Identification and agreement
Together with the owner (museum, parish, archive, private person) we establish what is digitised and under what conditions.
Capture
Scanning or photography to archival standards, without any intervention on the original.
Description
Every item receives metadata: dating, provenance, author, state of conservation, usage rights.
Publication
The materials enter an online collection with free access for research and education.
We work with institutions and with individuals
If you own documents, photographs or objects connected to the history of Alba Iulia, we can digitise them free of charge. The original stays with you; the digital copy enters the public archive only with your written consent.
Equipment and time
Digitisation needs scanners, cameras, storage and people who describe the materials. You can contribute with a donation dedicated to this programme, or as a volunteer.
