Carterworks Level 3 COVID-19 update

We are open for contact less delivery and collection of items. Alternatively you can sent items via google mail or through WeTransfer. Look forward to hearing from you.

Carterworks COVID-19 Update - we are here!

I hope everyone is keeping safe and well at home over this period.  We are here to take inquires - phone calls, emails, and digital files via our website, WeTransfer and Dropbox.   (We cannot meet in person, send out or collect physical items at this stage, but can accept electronic items)

As our business is home based we are continuing to work on a number of digitization projects and restorations which can be electronically delivered. When the lockdown period is over we can then deliver any physical copies of items.

Keep well and safe !

2018 Update and Christmas wishes

I haven't blogged a lot this year as it has turned out to be a very busy year digitising and restoring images.  I am fortunate to work with many interesting and wonderful people ranging from individuals with one off jobs to larger scale collections.

There were projects for all sorts of occasions - wedding anniversaries, birthday parties; individual and professional genealogical and historical research projects, small archives, artists and insurance claims.  I provided images for specialist funeral headstones and digital and print displays.  I scanned, photographed and reproduced a whole range of items - documents, artworks, photos, slides, negatives.... making discoveries along the way identifying a tintype and an ambrotype (both unusual in NZ) as well as a photo over 1metre in length.....

Mid year I undertook a course on the Care and Identification of Photographs with Gawain Weaver through the Northern States Conservation Centre to hone my skills in photographic and print identification and storage.  I can now help my clients with preserving their original images as well as dating their photos....

We have also introduced a new service digitising 8mm and 16mm movies...

So from all of us at Carterworks, season's greetings and best wishes for the new year!

Christmas Greetings
