Veridian was made specifically to overcome the technical challenges of delivering historical, digitized newspaper collections online.

Veridian easily manages newspaper collections with multiple titles and millions of pages without slowing its blazingly fast search engine.
Veridian was built specifically to display newspaper and other text-based collection, but it’s equally capable of managing and displaying collections of photos, video, and other file types.
Veridian was built around the METS/ALTO newspaper standard, and unlike other systems, ingests and indexes METS/ALTO files without hiccups. It also accepts both page and article level METS/ALTO, even within the same collection.
In addition to METS/ALTO, Veridian also ingests and displays other schemas also common to newspaper digitization such as PDF, TEI, and HTML.
Veridian does not change your data to a proprietary format. You content remains your content regardless of the format you’ve chosen.
Not all organizations need this, but for those that do, we have license options available that grant access to Veridian’s source code. This access allows for custom development and restricts only redistribution of the software.
Veridian can be configured to work with your current federated search or archive management software.
We’ve been obsessively careful to ensure that all of Veridian’s HTML output is clean, and complies with W3C standards so that everyone has access to your collection, regardless of their choice in operating system, web browser, or accessibility devices.
Veridian works on mobile devices like Android and iOS phones and tablets. It even includes iOS multi-touch gestures to navigate such as touch and drag, and pinching. And it does all of this without requiring custom app development.
Veridian’s user graphical user interface can be minimized to maximize the viewable area. Afterall, it’s the content of your collection that your patrons want to see.
Your collection contains a wealth of information. Veridian makes it easy for your patrons to share that wealth through easy social sharing and bookmarking tools.
Let’s face it, speed matters. And Veridian is equipped with a blazingly fast search engine that consistently delivers relevant results, and has filters that let users quickly find exactly what they’re looking for.
In addition to a fast search engine, users can access your collection through an intuitive browsing interface based on any of the metadata categories you make available to them.
Veridian comes with standard installation and configuration included; meaning you spend your time building and promoting your collection, not developing your software.
