More than 20 years guiding organisations from digitisation to online discovery

Veridian provides collection scanning, data conversion and digital collections software for libraries, archives, historical societies and cultural heritage organisations.

From fragile newspapers and microfilm to books, photographs, maps and archival records, we help organisations transform historical materials into structured, searchable digital collections that can be accessed online. Our team can support the entire process or provide individual services according to the needs of each project.

Explore how libraries, archives and cultural heritage organisations use Veridian’s services and software to provide long-term access to their collections.

From digitisation to discovery

Decisions made at the beginning of a digitisation project can affect how successfully a collection can be preserved, searched, accessed and expanded in the future.

Veridian brings scanning, data conversion and presentation software expertise together, helping organisations plan beyond the immediate project and create digital collections that continue to deliver value over time.

Scanning service

High-quality scanning provides the foundation for a successful digital collection. We help define technical specifications, plan workflows and oversee trusted scanning partners to produce consistent digital master images from newspapers, microfilm and other historical source materials.

Options include OCR, page- and article-level METS/ALTO, metadata, PDFs and JPEG 2000 images, with different levels of automation and quality assurance available.
