Seamless Delivery

We preserve your documents exactly as they are. And then, using a complex, proprietary indexing framework, we extract every english-language word from your document and index and rank them to produce a near-real-time delivery framework that enables you to find every word in every document in an instant -- presented to the user exactly as the document appeared, whether it's two days or two centuries old.

Frequently Asked Questions

You'll find answers to some of the most-commonly asked questions below.

Some of ATHENAEUM's earliest customers were libraries desparately in seach of a better way to handle the boxes and boxes full of old newspapers they were storing on microfiche. We partnered with several libraries to begin the process of converting their microfiche to digital, searchable content and ATHENAEUM was born.

But that's not all we do. The ATHENAEUM platform, at its core, is a high-speed digital index and natural word search engine. We scan and index any english-language content, taking archival PDFs, JPGs, or TIFFs of any kind and turning them into fully-searchable date-filterable online documents. Whether you're a library, a university, a legal firm, a historical society, or a publisher, ATHENAEUM can take your archives to the next level.

YES, you can.

The ATHENAEUM user interface is designed to be a 'white box' product. That means ATHENAEUM supports using your own custom domains, and has a fully customizable user experience. Want your own branding, colors, links, footers, and imagery? No problem. You even manage your UI directly from the ATHENAEUM admin console!

If your documents are still in print form (old magazines, newspapers, maps, photos, or documents), ATHENAEUM can help you digitize them. We take old source material and turn it into searchable, indexed PDF documents that can be viewed and searched (and loaded directly) in the ATHENAEUM engine.

If you've already digitized your archives, ATHENAEUM supports PDF images, TIFF images, PNG images and TIFF images, and can also handle Microsoft Office documents (Word and Excel). Whether or not your documents have been OCR'd (for optical character recognition), the ATHENAEUM framework will scan them, create indexes for them, and produce individual, viewable and searchable PDFs for direct upload into the ATHENAEUM framework.

You sure can!

ATHENAEUM supports multiple levels of privacy, including sites that are accessible only via a unique password, sites that are limited to an IP address or range of IPs (so that the content can be limited, for instance, to only being available from within your location or office), and ATHENAEUM supports integration with your own authentication systems (so that YOU can control what users have access).

ATHENAEUM groups documents according to 'collections' and 'libraries', and you can set and specify individual permissiona the collection AND library level.

ATHENAEUM's pricing structure is based on the amount of storage you're using for your collections and is designed to scale as your archives do. You don't pay for individual users or usage, and our basic storage packages are as low as $250 a year!

Most ATHENAEUM subscribers pay about $1000 a year for multiple documents spread across multiple collections, but to figure out what your collection will cost, simply contact us (you can use the Get It Now link in the header of this page!) and we'll provide you a pre-sales estimate based on your document count and collection complexity.
