What you get

A cataloguing layer, not a new system.

Archivers.ai describes the backlog. Your collections management system stays the system of record.

A drafted Archivers.ai record for a photograph, showing a personal-data flag, an expandable evidence panel, and evidence marks beside the title, date, date certainty, creator, location, description, subjects, format and condition fields
Object description

From a photograph to a draft record.

Photograph the object or upload the scan. Materials, technique, estimated date and condition come back as editable fields.

  • Ceramics, textiles, paintings, prints, papers
  • Condition notes and estimated date included
  • Every field reviewed before it counts, its evidence attached
How we use AI
The Archivers.ai search screen with a query for Conference returning three photograph records as thumbnail cards, each showing its file name, item type, accession and drafted title
Findability

Photographs stop being a folder.

Once described, images are searchable by subject, place and person rather than by whatever the camera called the file.

  • Search by subject, place or person
  • Thumbnails, item types and accessions
  • Documentation staff and volunteers share one queue
Public access and Explore

Common questions

What museums ask first.

Is Archivers.ai Spectrum-aligned?

It drafts metadata aligned to Spectrum procedures for object entry, cataloguing and location tracking, and exports Spectrum CSV on every paid plan. It is a cataloguing layer, not a collections management system.

Can I import into our existing CMS?

Yes. Spectrum CSV, plain CSV, EAD3 and Dublin Core import into most museum systems, including Axiell, Modes, Adlib and Mimsy. Columns are mapped to your fields during import.

Does it handle three-dimensional objects?

It works from photographs of objects rather than 3D scans. Upload an image of a ceramic, textile or painting and the draft covers materials, technique, estimated date and condition.

What about museum accreditation?

Archivers.ai supports consistent cataloguing workflows and evidence gathering relevant to museum accreditation processes. The formal decision still rests with the awarding body.

What does it cost, and can volunteers use it?

Prices are published in full. Smaller museums usually start on Starter, larger services on Professional. Volunteer and reviewer seats are free on every paid plan.
