About
Built to last, made to share.
We help clients realize their preservation and access initiatives,
collaborating on any or all of the steps: from shaping a digital strategy, to
putting the workflows and infrastructure in place, to building the interfaces
that open collections up for discovery. Engage us for one part or the whole arc.
We work with open standards on open-source technologies, so collections stay
interoperable. We're active in the communities behind those standards, like IIIF, and we bring what we learn
back into our work.
What we believe
- Preservation for posterity: fixity, open formats, and standards built to last.
- Access is the goal: not just retrieval, but richer experiences of a collection.
- Accessibility is a default, not a feature: we build for all.
