You know about our award-winning online museum publishing platform, but did you know our parent company, SmallTownPapers, Inc., is also a vested historical stakeholder? That’s right, to demonstrate the value of these unique and priceless archives, we've scanned and made freely accessible more than four million pages of small community newspapers.
In addition to our own newspaper archiving, there's a wide range of digitization work currently underway at our shop including:
-
Nehalem Valley Historical Society - This Oregon historical society has undertaken an ambitious project to consolidate multiple digital archives. We imported Omeka™ and SmugMug™ databases and scanned more than 15,000 pages of artifacts including letters, postcards, pamphlets, newsletters, and newspapers.
-
Heritage Society of Pacific Grove - Known for its colorful history, this picturesque California small town has entire neighborhoods comprising historical districts which include many of the homes and buildings. AIB was selected to host their collections, consolidate Google Docs databases and create customized features.
-
Mercer Island Historical Society - ArchiveInABox recently scanned editions of the "Mercer Island Reporter" from 1996 and 2001. This ongoing multi-year project is preserving the history of one of Seattle’s first suburbs.
-
Lake Stevens Historical Society - ArchiveInABox just finished scanning editions of multiple Lake Stevens (WA) titles dating from 1928 to 2003.
-
Monroe Historical Society - Continuing a multi-year scan project, ArchiveInABox is preserving the legacy of Monroe by digitizing editions of the "Monroe Monitor" from 1988 to 2000.
-
Sno-Isle Genealogical Society - The society contracted with ArchiveInABox to scan "The Tribune-Review" from 1907 to 1918, including very fragile materials.
-
Sno-Isle Libraries - This county library system selected ArchiveInABox to preserve its unique collection of the "Snohomish Tribune" printed editions from 1904, 1910-1912, and 1921-1937. These extremely fragile archives can now endure in a publicly accessible digital format.
In a world where the past often fades into obscurity, ArchiveInABox is committed to partnering with historical stakeholders -- joining forces to stand as guardians of our heritage. Won’t you join us today in digitizing your priceless works? We would be honored to partner in your preservation projects.
