PHOTARCH on site
One to three months with your collection
I come to your collection, photograph the objects so that the images can be measured, and leave a way of working that your staff can carry on with.
Many collections and archives are to be digitised, moved or inventoried in the coming years. The images taken then are often hard to use afterwards: different scale, different light, no measurements. PHOTARCH is a method and an app that give uniform images in which every object can be measured and compared at real size.
In 2027 I take a limited number of commissions where I work at your institution, with your objects.

One month, and up to three
The commission starts at one month, three days a week on site. It can run for up to three months when more of the collection is to be done.
One month
- Scope
- Three days a week on site
- You get
- A defined part of the collection photographed, measured and exported, and staff who can carry on.
- Price excl. VAT
- 95,000 SEK
Two or three months
A longer commission gets a larger part of the collection done, and gives the way of working time to be built into your own routines. Get in touch and we look at the scope together.
Ask about a longer commissionTravel and accommodation are added. The PHOTARCH app for organisations is included during the project.
What is included
The work, and what stays when I leave
- Photography on your premises, with my equipment and with the equipment you already have, which I set up to give the best result it can
- Measurable images with scale, colour reference and metadata in every file
- Export as files with scale and metadata embedded
- Training of your staff, so that the work continues after I have left
- A written routine for your collection
What you provide
A room, a contact and the objects
- A room where the objects can stay out
- A contact person with a mandate to decide on selection and order
- The objects brought out according to a plan we make together on the first day
You help shape the tool
Two days a week I develop PHOTARCH further, with what I see at your institution as input. You influence what is built first and get what you need earlier than others. The app and the method belong to Milvus Productions AB and are available to all users.
Mac and PC
The PHOTARCH app is available for Mac. The PC version is released at the turn of the year 2026–27.
Simple to buy
The commission is invoiced by Milvus Productions AB at a fixed price. For Swedish public bodies, a commission of up to three months is below the direct award threshold of 700,000 SEK.
Who I am
I am a photographer and archaeologist, and for eleven years I have made images, film and text about objects and places for museums, universities and public authorities. PHOTARCH is built from that work.
