Get more use from the records you already hold.
We help archives, museums, libraries, universities, and public agencies clean up old records, extract their contents, and make them easier to search.
The citations stay attached. The originals stay under your control.
Mixed formats are normal.
Most collections are a mix of scans, exports, handwriting, old OCR, and incomplete metadata. We build the processing steps around the material.
Scans, PDFs, and exports
TIFF collections, PDFs, XML, CSV, database exports, old OCR, and legacy repositories.
Photographs and handwriting
Phone photos, bound ledgers, handwritten records, directories, newspapers, and field material.
Disconnected repositories
Records about the same people, places, organizations, and events spread across different systems.
Identifiers and manifests
We can also work with identifiers, signed manifests, and approved data exports.
From page image to usable record.
Clean records
Processed text, document sections, normalized fields, people, events, relationships, citations, and approved exports.
Evidence stays attached
An extracted claim carries the passage, page, document, and collection reference needed to check it.
Choose a setup that fits your rules.
The collection agreement states where processing happens, who holds the source files, and which outputs may be shared.
Process inside your environment
Use an institution-controlled or air-gapped setup when policy or collection restrictions require it.
Use Kettle-hosted processing
Hosting is available when the agreement covers storage, processing, and delivery.
Keep the master files
Signed IDs, manifests, and approved data can move between systems while the master source files stay with the institution.
Set the rules in writing
Processing, hosting, publication, and aggregation are separate permissions in the collection agreement.
The same records can answer different questions.
Archives, museums, libraries, and universities
Give staff and researchers better access to the collection with the original context intact.
Research and genealogy
Find people, events, and relationships across scattered historical records.
Property and public records
Support title, property, planning, and administrative research under the collection's use terms.
Government and enterprise
Search legacy records and deliver approved data through exports or APIs.
We start with the institution and its records. Any later research product must follow the collection agreement.
