Museums and cultural institutions
Museums hold rich collections behind a system chosen decades ago, while the public sees only highlights. Archively catalogs each object, publishes the image with deep zoom, and keeps rights on the record.
One record, end to end
One object photograph, from catalog to portal.
The record below is invented for this demonstration. Follow one object from its source material to the published result and the provenance kept behind it.
East Harbor Municipal Archive*
Source material
A high-resolution photograph of the 1962 reading-room dedication enters the catalog, along with the printed dedication program that recorded the event.
System action
Archively extracts the text from the program by OCR, drafts a caption for the photograph, and proposes keywords and named people. Each proposal is an immutable snapshot the staff can compare against.
Human decision
The registrar reviews each field. E. Whitfield accepts the caption, corrects a date read from the program, and rejects one keyword. Rights and access context are set on the record before it moves on.
Published result
J. Merritt clears rights and publishes. The photograph streams to the institution portal with IIIF deep zoom, so a visitor can inspect the detail up close. It carries a durable identifier and citation export.
Provenance retained
The published version is frozen and retained in history. The AI proposal stays immutable beside the approved record. SHA-256 checksums and recurring fixity checks guard the master image.
What museums need
Built for objects and the people who view them.
Media treated like the object it is
Store high-resolution images, PDFs, and audio or video with transcoding and streaming. The record holds the media and its description together, not in a separate website.

Deep zoom that rewards a close look
IIIF Image and Presentation APIs deliver deep zoom on high-resolution photography. A visitor can inspect a brushstroke or a hallmark from home.

Rights decided before anything is public
Rights and access context live on the record. A rights clearance stage gates release, so what may be shown is shown, and what may not is kept internal.

A public portal worth the collection
An institution-branded portal lets researchers register, search, and view media, transcripts, and stories. Records carry durable ARK and DOI identifiers and citation export in six styles.
