Client: Robin Boyd Foundation

The digitisation project for the Robin Boyd Foundation was a significant undertaking aimed at preserving and making accessible a vast and invaluable archive. This archive, containing over 4,000 items, offered a deep dive into Robin Boyd's extensive work as an architect, author, critic, and public educator, as well as a unique glimpse into life at Walsh Street during the 1950s and 60s. The materials ranged from books, furniture, and artwork to manuscripts, correspondence, slides, films, architectural drawings, and newspaper clippings, each piece contributing to a broader understanding of Boyd's influence on modern Australian architecture and culture.

Restore was tasked with digitising over 1,500 slides and numerous manuscripts, along with other paper-based materials from the collection. The digitisation process involved meticulously scanning and cataloguing these items to ensure their preservation for future generations. By converting these physical materials into digital formats, the project aimed to protect them from deterioration while also making them more accessible to researchers, students, and the general public.
