Summary of Veridian Services
Veridian software and services make it easy to digitize and provide online access to historic newspaper and archive collections.
Our Vision
Our vision is to help libraries and cultural heritage institutions to create online digital collections that are more than just static sets of content.
We make it easy to attract an audience to your collection; we create opportunities for that audience to engage with your content, with the library, and with each other.

Innovative features including User Text Correction, tags, comments, and private lists encourage people to actively engage with those collections.
