What our clients say

Client satisfaction is everything to us, read what they have to say about our services

University of Salford

Large building plans and drawings can be tricky for us to retrieve from the store and for researchers to handle. Coupled with the Covid-19 lockdowns it became important to us to think about how we could provide access in other ways. After receiving some internal funding we were able to get the plans digitized, which will really open up access and of course help to preserve the originals! I was impressed with how Townsweb were able to digitally stitch together the largest plans and complete the work to our tight deadline.

Alexandra Mitchell

Archivist

UAL

TownsWeb were incredibly responsive to our short timescale to digitise a set of photographs for a live student project, even working late into the evening to ensure that the students would get them in time. Their work enabled the students to curate an exhibition for their assessment deadline. Townsweb work was professional and of high quality, and their customer service continues to be excellent.

Manager, University Archives and Special Collections Centre

Wellcome Collection

We have been working with TWA for a number of years on one of our major operational digitisation workstreams. Their team, based on-site, are highly skilled, and can tackle a wide range of material types from our collections, helping us to provide free access to archives online. Their team has integrated well with our digitisation staff at Wellcome, helping us to achieve an efficient and seamless operation, even when we’ve had disruptions due to Covid lockdowns and building closures.

Digital Production Manager

Kingston

One of the most used parts of our local history collection our street directories were falling apart. Townsweb have created digital copies that will help us to preserve these historic volumes. Working with them has been a real pleasure. Despite the difficulties of working through a pandemic, they have been efficient and helpful, dealing with any problems quickly and easily. We would have no hesitation in using them again for future projects.

Carolynne Cotton

Local History Officer

RCN

Royal College of Nursing’s old physical publications can be difficult to find outside of our London library. With members across the UK, and users from across the world, having digitised access is really important to us. Understanding historic developments in clinical nursing practice can have a significant impact for nursing today. Some internal funding meant we could digitise a tranche of past publications, making professional nursing more visible. Townsweb’s support for this work means we will be able to provide a quality service to our users quickly and effectively.
