Public libraries and museums preserve valuable historical materials that are essential for passing on culture to future generations. However, many institutions face challenges in digitizing these materials, assigning proper licensing, and making them publicly accessible online. Without digital solutions, these resources remain underutilized, limiting educational opportunities, research potential, and the broader societal value of cultural heritage. Smaller libraries often lack the technical capacity or funding to implement such systems, creating a gap in access to historical knowledge.

Local Media Labs provides a digital archive content management system that digitizes valuable library materials and makes them available online. The platform uses the IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework) for global standard viewing and ensures interoperability with other institutions. By adopting clear licensing standards such as Public Domain and Creative Commons, it simplifies rules for secondary use. The system is cost-effective, accessible to both large and small libraries, and supported by consulting throughout implementation: from digitization to material utilization. By offering an intuitive management interface and user-friendly viewing experience, the solution helps bridge the digital divide and maximizes access to historical resources.
