TopFoto scans 10,000 glass plate negatives
TopFoto’s in-house scanning team today passed a 10,000 milestone for the glass plate negative project, part of the company’s rescue and digitisation of archive imagery.
This rare and lovely material from the 1920s to the 1940s, the key “retro” decades, is crystal quality and every detail shows.
The company celebrated with a round of chocolate éclairs, before getting back to the task of scanning more negatives for the website and TopFoto customers.
