“ 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.
