Negotiation Management
At Greyscale, we serve as a trusted partner for public archives, universities, and local councils, handling the intricate negotiation process that enables their collections to be digitised and shared responsibly.
Our expertise is in forming agreements that honour both ownership and accessibility, ensuring that cultural heritage can be preserved, digitised, and made available to the public.
Through our collaborations, we negotiate the rights to capture, process, and publish archival materials on well-known public platforms such as Matricula, owned by our partner ICARUS, making invaluable records accessible to researchers and communities around the globe.
Building Access Through Collaboration
Greyscale connects institutions with the right partners to bring their archives to life.
We work side by side with public archives, universities, libraries, and councils to define mutually beneficial agreements that enable large-scale digitization projects.
Our negotiation approach combines legal expertise, cultural understanding, and transparency — ensuring all stakeholders share a common goal: the preservation and accessibility of heritage collections.
Building Bridges Between Institutions and Innovation
Our negotiation management service is built on trust, respect, and shared value.
We understand that archives and public institutions hold not only documents but the collective memory of communities.
That’s why we approach every negotiation as a partnership, not a transaction — balancing protection of ownership with the benefits of global access.
Greyscale acts as a bridge between tradition and technology, helping institutions preserve their collections while bringing them to the world through secure, ethical, and sustainable digital frameworks
