About SLP Ltd
Preserving the past, powering the future — a dedicated team with decades of experience in archival solutions and digital heritage services.
Who We Are
SLP Ltd is a specialist archival and digital preservation company rooted in a passion for historical accuracy and long-term access to cultural knowledge.
A Legacy Built on Trust
Founded over two decades ago, SLP Ltd has grown from a small records management consultancy into a full-service digital preservation and archival solutions provider. We work with libraries, museums, government bodies, and private enterprises to ensure that valuable records and collections are catalogued, digitised, and made accessible for future generations.
Our multidisciplinary team brings together archivists, data scientists, software engineers, and heritage professionals united by a shared belief: that information has lasting value, and protecting it is a responsibility we take seriously.
Meet the TeamOur Mission & Values
Everything we do is guided by a clear set of principles that place integrity, accessibility, and innovation at the heart of our practice.
Preservation First
We treat every record as irreplaceable. Our archival processes adhere to the highest international standards, ensuring the physical and digital longevity of every collection we manage.
Radical Transparency
Our clients have full visibility into our processes, timelines, and methodologies. We believe informed partners make for stronger, more effective collaborations.
Universal Access
Knowledge locked away serves no one. We design all our digital solutions with accessibility and discoverability as core requirements, not afterthoughts.
Continuous Innovation
From AI-assisted cataloguing to cloud-based repository management, we invest in emerging technologies to keep our clients ahead of the archival curve.
Partnership Mindset
We don't just deliver a service — we embed ourselves in your organisation's goals, culture, and challenges to deliver solutions that truly fit.
Sustainable Practice
Environmental responsibility is woven into our operations — from energy-efficient server infrastructure to eco-conscious physical handling of archival materials.
Our Journey
Key milestones that have shaped SLP Ltd into the organisation it is today.
SLP Ltd was established in Edinburgh with a small team of three archivists focused on records management for local government clients.
Recognising the digital shift, we launched our first digitisation service, scanning and cataloguing over 200,000 documents in the first year alone.
SLP Ltd was awarded a landmark national contract to digitise and index historical census records, putting us on the map as a leading UK heritage technology partner.
We launched our proprietary Wayback Archive platform, providing clients with a cloud-based portal for browsing, retrieving, and managing their digital collections.
Integrating machine learning into our cataloguing pipeline, we reduced manual indexing time by 60% while improving metadata accuracy across all new projects.
