Onsite Preservation · Worldwide
When the collection can't come to us, the lab comes to you.
For major art, film, museum, estate, foundation, gallery, and cultural heritage projects, Pyxartis provides onsite digitization, archival imaging, and collection documentation — anywhere in the world — with the same museum-grade capture and conservation-grade care we bring to the Denver lab.
When onsite is the right call
Some collections should never be shipped.
Too large or numerous to ship
Collections of hundreds to hundreds of thousands of works — paintings, negatives, documents, artifacts — where crating and transit are impractical or cost-prohibitive.
Too fragile or valuable to move
Irreplaceable originals, sensitive media, or works whose insurance or conservation terms forbid transit. We image them where they live.
Must stay on the premises
Materials that cannot leave a museum, government archive, or private collection for security, loan, or provenance reasons.
What we bring
A full capture lab, deployed to your facility.
The lab, on location
Phase One IQ4 and, where the project warrants, Cruse synchronized-light capture — set up in a room at your facility with controlled lighting and color targets.
Conservation-grade handling
Cotton gloves, dust-controlled prep, anti-static surfaces, and chain-of-custody documentation. Your conservators and registrars stay in the loop throughout.
Standards & metadata
FADGI, Metamorfoze, and ISO 19264 alignment; delivery in Dublin Core, Spectrum, EAD, MODS, or your CMS's export shape, with the color-verification report attached.
