# [VIDEO: Digitising Sandhursts precious archives with Dr Anthony Morton](https://blog.townswebarchiving.com/2014/05/video-digitising-sandhursts-precious-archives-with-dr-anthony-morton)

Below you can hear Dr Anthony Morton, Curator of the prestigious Sandhurst Collection at The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, explaining how our [archive digitisation](http://www.townswebarchiving.com/heritage-digitisation/) and [web design services](http://www.townswebarchiving.com/software-websites/websites-software/) have helped the Academy publish its most important collections online.

## Background to the Sandhurst digitisation projects

After initially digitising [Sandhurst’s cadet registers](http://www.townswebarchiving.com/2012/07/sandhurst-online-archive-continues-to-grow/) and end of term report collection, TownsWeb was asked by the Academy to create a brand [new archive website](http://archive.sandhurstcollection.co.uk/) to showcase the digitised collections and make them fully searchable online.

As Anthony Morton notes in the video above, TownsWeb’s development team not only built a site befitting such a prestigious British institution and which allowed easy access to the digitised content, but also added a revenue generation element. This allowed visitors to the Sandhurst Collections website to pay to download a high resolution jpeg image of any record that they choose, in exchange for a small fee.

Further to this, in 2013 TownsWeb digitised Sandhurst’s RMC magazine and Wish Stream Journal collections and developed a brand new [subscription-based revenue generation](http://www.townswebarchiving.com/2013/11/sandhurst-military-academy-offers-online-access-to-historic-magazines-and-journals/) model for the site.

Today TownsWeb continues to be Sandhurst’s preferred partner for digitisation and transcription services and continues to manage the Sandhurst Collections website.
