Resources
Get hands-on with a live archive.
Tell us who you are and we'll set up a live Archively archive for your team: real software with a working collection to search, browse, review, and judge on your own time.
What you can do in it
Five things worth your time.
The archive is small on purpose. Every record is finished, reviewed, and published, so you can judge the parts that matter in a few minutes.
Search the whole collection
Type a name or a place and see faceted, full-text, and semantic results come back together. Narrow the list by period, subject, and media type.
FACETED · FULL-TEXT · SEMANTIC (VECTOR)
Open one record in full
Open a finished record. Read its description, follow the people and subjects linked to it, and copy the identifier that cites it.
ARK · DOI · CITATION IN SIX STYLES
Read a reviewed transcript
Play an oral history. Read the transcript beside the audio, with speakers separated, while the file streams as you scroll.
TRANSCRIPTION · SPEAKER DIARIZATION · STREAMING
Follow a record to its authority
Move from a record to the person, organization, or subject behind it. The same authority record links every item that shares it.
PEOPLE · ORGANIZATIONS · SUBJECTS
Zoom into the media
Open a scanned program or map and zoom to the grain over IIIF. The viewer serves the same image the portal publishes to researchers.
IIIF IMAGE · PRESENTATION · DEEP ZOOM
