Digitization Services and Fees

Digitization rates at Robertson Library are $200/hour, which would be approximately:

  • 100 pages of looseleaf text,
  • 50 pages of bound text,
  • 10 images (slides and print) or
  • 2 oversize objects (paintings, maps, etc).

All output would be delivered through a website hosted by Robertson Library (VRE or ResourceSpace) unless a storage medium is submitted with the items.

The Robertson Library is willing to partner with other community and heritage groups to include their digitized content in one of the University's publicly accessible repositories. This could include subsidizing or waiving our standard fees to encourage making our rich heritage available to all. To discuss these projects and partnerships, please fill in the digitization request form.

* Actual amounts may vary as per details and additional requirements. Additional costs may be applied. OCR services will be provided with the standard UPEI software and will not include manual correction of text.
