A Record of Railway History
Since our founding in 1999, we have been preserving historical documents, including digital records. Our archive focuses primarily on (visual) contributions and collections donated to us by various authors.
Our passion is preserving the history and stories surrounding the railroad
Our comprehensive range of professional services is designed for a diverse clientele, ranging from railway enthusiasts and collectors to history buffs, public archives, museums, and publishers.
We’d be happy to showcase your collection as well
Whether it’s about railroads or streetcars…
Whether it’s a small or extensive collection…
Whether it features historical or contemporary content…
Whether it’s memories shared in a podcast…
Restoration and Digitization of Railway Photographs and Documents
We carefully digitize and restore all documents ourselves.
Data Entry and Publication
Metadata collection is at the heart of our work. Without structured data entry, our goal of “discoverability” would come to nothing.
Collections
Many valuable collections have already found their way to us; they have been expertly and lovingly restored and subsequently made available to the public
