archiveresearchUK – You Search, We Find

You Search, We Find

For many the thought of passing on part of their academic research may seem difficult – after all it’s your research. However, rather than paying for travel and accommodation for the sake of some pressured time at The National Archives, British Library or Imperial War Museum, hire an archive photographer.

We can turn that long list of files you’ve identified into images delivered directly to your computer for you to look through, work with and study in your own time and at your own pace.

How It Works

If you have a list or need help working it what can work for you, please drop us a line and we can help. We take your list, give you an estimate, photograph it then send it straight to you.

About Us

My name is Simon Cawthorne. I set up archiveresearchUK in 2006 as a document photography and research service for academics, authors, TV production, and UXO salvage companies. This can be as simple as photographing a pre-defined, pre-researched list of file references or as involved as a full-service research project.

All our work is delivered digitally so you can download to your computer, in your time at your own pace. If you need research or photography at other locations in the UK, please get in touch too – we do travel further! And if we can’t get to an archive ourselves, we will usually know someone who can.

So if your project, book or dissertation has stalled in the face of a long list of documents or a hefty travel expense, consider hiring an archive photographer to get your plan back on track.
