Archive Digitisation Service

SRO clients may request the digitisation of entire files and other items held in the State archives collection for a fee.
Last updated:

To request State archives for digitisation, please identify the items on the State Records Office catalogue and place your request online. Enquiries  about the digitisation service should be emailed to digitisation@sro.wa.gov.au. Digitisation charges are listed below.

Not all State archives are able to digitised, such as those with a restricted access status, or in a format or physical condition not suitable for straight-forward digitisation. Requests to digitise archives will be assessed by the State Records Office to establish if the condition of the archive is appropriate for digitisation. You will be contacted by email with information about the digitisation process and payment options. If deemed suitable, once payment has been received, the State Records Office aims to provide digitised copies of archives within 20 working days.

Please note that there are thousands of digital items available on the State Records Office catalogue. They can be downloaded by saving the image to your computer, so there is no need to place a digitisation request for items available online.
