The Platform
From upload to fully catalogued archive — AI-powered, standards-aligned, and human-reviewed at every step.
Documents, photographs, audio, video, multi-page TIFFs — any format, any size. Drag and drop or bulk upload entire collections.
OCR for printed and handwritten text, automatic document type detection, date extraction, named entity recognition across people, places, and organisations.
18+ structured fields generated automatically: title, description, date, creator, subject, format, language, rights, provenance, and more — all standards-aligned.
Every AI classification goes through your review queue. Approve, edit, or override — nothing is published without your sign-off. Accuracy you can trust.
Search across your entire collection — transcribed text, metadata fields, and AI-generated descriptions. Find any item in seconds.
Ask questions across your archive in plain English. The AI draws on transcripts, metadata, and descriptions to surface connections and insights.
Organise your collection in a proper hierarchical structure. Group items into accessions, arrange accessions into fonds — exactly as archival standards require.
EAD3, BagIt, CSV, and Dublin Core. Funder-ready outputs for NLHF and other grant programmes. One click to export in the format your systems need.
Automatically identifies potential copyright issues and access restrictions. Set item-level rights statements to protect sensitive material.

What file types does The Archiver support?
Documents (PDF, Word, scanned images), photographs (JPEG, PNG, TIFF including multi-page), audio (MP3, WAV), and video. Most common heritage collection formats are supported.
How does the AI classification work?
The Archiver's AI reads each uploaded file — running OCR on documents and images, transcribing audio and video — then generates structured metadata across 18+ fields. Every AI classification is presented for your review before it is published.
What metadata standards do you support?
The Archiver generates ISAD(G)-aligned metadata and exports in EAD3, Dublin Core, BagIt, and CSV. Outputs are accepted by NLHF, Archives Hub, and major institutional repositories.
Can I export to my existing collections management system?
Yes. The Archiver exports in CSV, EAD3, and Dublin Core — standard formats accepted by most collections management systems including Axiell, Modes, Adlib, and others.
Is my data secure?
Yes. Your collection data is stored securely and is never used to train AI models. You retain full ownership of your archive and can export or delete your data at any time.
