Preserving the Past, Powering the Future: How Micrographics Data Supports NHB Cultural Heritage Grants with End-to-End Digital Solutions

In an age where technology drives accessibility, preserving cultural heritage while making it accessible to future generations is more critical than ever. At the heart of this transformation is Micrographics Data Pte Ltd, a trusted partner in the digitisation and digitalisation of Singapore’s treasured history.

If your institution or heritage business is applying for the National Heritage Board’s (NHB) Cultural Heritage Grant, Micrographics Data is uniquely positioned to support you from consultation to execution with a total heritage solution.

1. End-to-End NHB Grant Consultation Services

Navigating the NHB Cultural Heritage Grant process can be complex. Micrographics Data Pte Ltd provides grant consultation services tailored to guide you through proposal writing, budgeting, technical documentation, and aligning your project with NHB’s strategic objectives. With experience supporting libraries, museums, and heritage associations, we help you secure funding while ensuring your proposal meets preservation and innovation standards.

2. Digitisation of Rare & Fragile Materials

Rare books, photographs, manuscripts, and maps require careful handling. Our digitisation services ensure:

• High-resolution scanning of fragile or aged materials
• Metadata tagging and archival-quality file formats
• OCR & searchable digital archives
• Digital preservation strategies to prolong lifespan of materials

We use specialized scanners and techniques that ensure the physical integrity of your items, while creating high-quality digital versions.

3. Conservation of Original Materials

Beyond digitisation, we understand the importance of preserving the original artefacts. Our network of trained conservators can help clean, repair, and store your materials in climate-controlled environments, extending their lifespan and ensuring they remain part of Singapore’s tangible heritage.

4. 360° Object Photography for Immersive Access

Objects tell stories that text alone cannot. With our 360-degree photography service, artefacts and museum pieces can now be explored online with full interactive control. This is perfect for:

• Virtual museum exhibits
• Online catalogues
• Educational resources

Users can zoom, rotate, and explore artefacts as if they were viewing them in person bringing Singapore’s heritage to life online.

5. Collection Management Systems for Efficient Archiving

Managing vast collections of digitised assets requires robust systems. We implement Collection Management Systems (CMS) that are:

• User-friendly
• Cloud-based or on-premise
• Customisable with access controls
• Searchable with metadata tagging
• Integrated with online viewing tools

Whether you're managing 100 or 100,000 items, our systems grow with your collection and ensure secure, scalable access.

6. Branding, Marketing & Digital Commerce Solutions

Preserving history is one part of the journey—making it accessible and visible is the other. Micrographics Data offers digital marketing and e-commerce solutions to promote your heritage collection globally:

• Website design & development tailored for museums, archives, and heritage brands
• E-commerce store setup for memorabilia, prints, books & merchandise
• Amazon marketplace integration for international reach
• SEO, branding & social media strategy to boost visibility

This transforms your digital archive into a living, revenue-generating asset that connects with new generations locally and worldwide.
