   Highlights on our Services

Archival Transfers from the National Archives and other institutions and from your family's attic
  • Bono's is credentialed  to handle all codes and formats of archival material from the National Archives Records Administration (NARA), the National Library of Medicine, and the Library of Congress.
  • Visit our Archives Section for procedures for ordering material from NARA.
  • Clients may elect either a high definition or standard definition transfer. If "protecting for the future" is of interest, we invite you to explore the benefits of a high definition duplication strategy.
  • Through our visiting Archival Collections Program, we inspect and duplicate materials from national and state government, university and private archival collections. We also perform archival site consultations if you need direct feedback at your facility. Do you need help developing your master plan for archival migration, access, and storage?  Ask how our team can work with you to provide cost effective solutions.
