Putting AI to work for archivists, librarians and museum specialists

  • Cultural heritage institutions face a mounting backlog of uncatalogued or sparsely described materials that constrain public access and scholarly research, but AI offers a solution.
  • AI can extract structured data from scanned documents at scale - enabling search across thousands of records that would otherwise remain inaccessible.
  • For images and video, AI-powered visual search makes entire collections explorable by what's in the image - essential when item-level description is sparse or missing.
  • For archivists and researchers, AI becomes a powerful collaborator - the result is collections that are more visible, more useful, and more accessible than ever before.

Extract structured metadata

Use AI to automate text and metadata extraction from large sets of scanned documents to create structured, searchable datasets and a simple interface, so researchers can search across the whole collection while still viewing each result in its original scan.

Search images and video by content

Use AI to search large image and video collections through their visual content – objects, scenes, text and styles. Researchers can explore collections based on what the images and videos show, not only subject headings or descriptive metadata. This makes entire collections explorable, especially when item-level description is sparse or missing.

We collaborate with archives, libraries, and museums across Europe and beyond to push the boundaries of what AI can do for cultural heritage

Who can benefit?

Cultural and Heritage Institutions

Museums, libraries and archival institutions can open up large, under-described collections – postcards, photographs, posters, videos, documents, index cards and more – and give staff and visitors an intuitive way to explore them. 

Researchers and Historians

Researchers can quickly locate documents, images and videos from large collections, including material that was previously almost impossible to find due to limited metadata. 

Collection Managers

Collection managers can unlock powerful search capabilities across image, video and digital documents, including legal deposit and born-digital collections where the sheer volume of material makes creating detailed item-level descriptive metadata nearly impossible.
