A Small Step for Archives – A Giant Leap for Mankind

Problems with Archive Digitization

None of the existing online archive solutions were designed to work on mobile. Most archive websites look obsolete even on desktops and none embrace mobile or social.

For the last 20 years, archive digitization has become a routine activity. Archives and museums receive taxpayer money, non-profit and private financial contributions to perform large scale preservation of materials resulting in tens of millions of physical objects digitized.

Most archives, however, failed to benefit from their digitization efforts besides initial financing received.

The very nature of online solutions developed to accommodate professional librarian needs, with their multiple search and retrieval features, professional metadata visualization, automatic mapping, complex objects consulting, etc., makes it hard for a non-librarian to navigate.

GetArchive's mission is to develop a publishing platform for archives, so they can manage and publish digital collections, expand organization's reach, donor base, grow follow up, and get paid for their media digitization efforts.

Three Key Problems

with the current state of online archive representation

Fragmentation
Already digitized content is scattered over the web. Conflict of interests: content aggregators vs. publishers.
High Costs
The Internet is changing fast. Costs of solutions capable of handling large archives online and on mobile are extremely high.
Bad User Experience
Librarian-centered solutions are not SEM-optimized, fail to meet non-librarian user needs and are not user value-focused.

In many cases, your most valuable assets are unique & special collections and archives.
