“ The National Library of New Zealand recently undertook a project to enable the full text searching of its Papers Past product, an online collection of 1.2 million pages of historic New Zealand newspapers (paperspast.natlib.govt.nz).

We worked with Digital Library Consulting to develop the underlying delivery system and a new interface using the [Veridian] software. The new website has been a huge success, and we enjoyed working with Stefan and his team. They were always very responsive and had a lot of innovative and practical ideas to contribute to the process. We hope to continue working with them into the future. ”
Steve Knight, Associate Director National Digital Library, National Library of New Zealand
“The CBSR has been digitizing historical California newspapers since 2005. We have used Content Conversion Specialists' docWorks software exclusively to create our data and used DL Consulting's Veridian software to host it. For us, one of the benefits of the collaboration between CCS and DL Consulting is that our data ingests smoothly and indexes and displays properly. And of course it is reassuring to know that other large newspaper digitization projects, like the New Zealand National Library and Singapore National Library Board, also use docWorks for conversion and Veridian for hosting and access.
