Cutting Archives

The Cutting Corporation, located in Bethesda, Maryland, has been preserving archival audio materials since 1979. We're a full service archival lab capable of both audio preservation (accurate re-recording) and audio restoration (removing distortion, recovering signal loss, or recovering signal decay).

As a sound preservation lab, our goal is to make recorded sound collections available to listeners for years to come. In addition, we believe in providing informative tools so archivists can manage the audio materials in their collection for preservation/restoration and accessibility.
