Digital Library Software
Made specifically to meet the technical challenges of delivering historical, digitized newspaper collections online.
More libraries use Veridian to display their collections of historic, digitized newspapers than any other content management software.
- Scalable
Veridian easily manages newspaper collections with multiple titles and millions of pages. - We install it for you
Veridian is necessarily complex software. Which is why when you choose Veridian for your digital newspaper project, a DL Consulting engineer will configure, install, and build your digital collection with you. - Use any metadata and file type
Though we strongly recommend the METS/ALTO standard, Veridian also ingests other newspaper formats, such as PDF, TEI, and HTML. - Open formats and accessible source code
All of your content is stored in its original, open format. And if you need it, we have licenses that give access to Veridian's code. - Integrates with other systems
Veridian can be configured to work with your existing infrastructure such as archive management or federated search software.
- Crowdsource OCR text errors
Empower your user community to correct OCR text errors. - Clean, compliant HTML
Deliver your collection in standards compliant HTML ensuring everyone access to your collection, regardless of operating system, browser, or accessibility device. - Fast, faceted search
Speed matters. Veridian quickly delivers search results and lets users filter down to find what they are looking for. - Full screen view
Newspaper broadsheets are large. Veridian's user interface options remove unnecessary elements for large image delivery. - Easy social sharing
Veridian uses third party plugins to let users easily share what they find in your collection via email or social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.
"Veridian handles METS/ALTO data better than any other system we evaluated. We had both page-level and article-level data, and DL Consulting tweaked Veridian to handle both. The California Digital Newspaper Collection now contains page and article-level data, which is a real advantage Veridian provides.”Brian Geiger

“I love the fact that I can set a project in motion and just leave it alone. DL Consulting and Veridian have not been problems for me. We derive a great deal of peace-of-mind reassurance from their deep support and the fact that everything runs smoothly without any intervention on our part.”Cliff Wulfman
