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. ![Client-Logo\_LDA@2x](https://www.archipanion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/clients/Logos/Client-Logo_LDA@2x.webp?width=1676&height=511&name=Client-Logo_LDA@2x.webp) ![Client-Logo\_Lausanne@2x](https://www.archipanion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/clients/Logos/Client-Logo_Lausanne@2x.webp?width=803&height=511&name=Client-Logo_Lausanne@2x.webp) ![Client-Logo\_DIAZ@2x](https://www.archipanion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/clients/Logos/Client-Logo_DIAZ@2x.webp?width=436&height=501&name=Client-Logo_DIAZ@2x.webp) ![Client-Logo\_PTT-MFK@2x](https://www.archipanion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Clients/Logos/Client-Logo_PTT-MFK@2x.webp?width=1072&height=501&name=Client-Logo_PTT-MFK@2x.webp) ![Client-Logo\_EUI@2x](https://www.archipanion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Clients/Logos/Client-Logo_EUI@2x.webp?width=1641&height=501&name=Client-Logo_EUI@2x.webp) ![Client-Logo\_Stadt-Bern@2x](https://www.archipanion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Clients/Logos/Client-Logo_Stadt-Bern@2x.webp?width=807&height=501&name=Client-Logo_Stadt-Bern@2x.webp) ![Client-Logo-TIR@2x](https://www.archipanion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/clients/Logos/Client-Logo-TIR@2x.webp?width=1757&height=501&name=Client-Logo-TIR@2x.webp) ![Client-Logo\_AG@2x](https://www.archipanion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Clients/Logos/Client-Logo_AG@2x.webp?width=575&height=501&name=Client-Logo_AG@2x.webp) ![Client-Logo\_BBB@2x](https://www.archipanion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Clients/Logos/Client-Logo_BBB@2x.webp?width=1609&height=501&name=Client-Logo_BBB@2x.webp) ![Client-Logo\_BAR@2x](https://www.archipanion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Clients/Logos/Client-Logo_BAR@2x.webp?width=2437&height=501&name=Client-Logo_BAR@2x.webp) ![Client-Logo\_Galt@2x](https://www.archipanion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Clients/Logos/Client-Logo_Galt@2x.webp?width=981&height=501&name=Client-Logo_Galt@2x.webp) ![Client-Logo\_BKW@2x](https://www.archipanion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/clients/Logos/Client-Logo_BKW@2x.webp?width=1330&height=501&name=Client-Logo_BKW@2x.webp) ![Client-Logo\_Bielefeld@2x](https://www.archipanion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Clients/Logos/Client-Logo_Bielefeld@2x.webp?width=1149&height=501&name=Client-Logo_Bielefeld@2x.webp) ![Client-Logo\_GR@2x](https://www.archipanion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/clients/Logos/Client-Logo_GR@2x.webp?width=2239&height=501&name=Client-Logo_GR@2x.webp) ![metadaten-edit-1](https://www.archipanion.com/hs-fs/hubfs/screenshots/metadaten-edit-1.webp?width=1024&height=1024&name=metadaten-edit-1.webp) ### 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.

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.
