Newspaper Scanning, Digital Archiving, Online Access critical to future generations

Newspaper scanning is the most important historical undertaking for any community stewardship organization. Why? Most small-town newspapers recorded the stories of everyday people in a specific geographic location over decades or even centuries.

No single document type yields more information than the local newspaper! Future generations will look to authoritative archives, such as your local newspaper, for an accurate accounting of the lives and goings on of their ancestors and family members.

ArchiveInABox, a product of SmallTownPapers, Inc., makes it easy and affordable for historical organizations across North America to digitally preserve historic archive materials and place them online where they can be searched and explored.

The company provides a turn-key scanning program which includes secure shipping, expert handling of original newspapers, digitization, and the return of both the originals and digital files to the owner.

There are free, low cost and custom online hosting options including the ability to easily create your own archive site and upload historical documents with full indexing and search. No license or purchase is required.

Your entire staff can use our powerful online database application to publish and manage specific collections, or for your entire online archive. Organizations and publishers using ArchiveInABox retain all ownership of the archive content, and there are no licensing fees!

ArchiveInABox has been used by hundreds of historical societies, museums and publishers to digitally preserve and provide easy online access to historical collections including newspapers, historically significant documents, maps, images and cemetery records.
