Our story
We've been on
your side of the desk.
"We have worked for the corporations who only care about making more space on the site for ads. We have worked for the bureaucracies who put too much paperwork between educators and the public."
— The founding team
-
We are librarians and programmers
We have worked with large public universities and small scholarly societies. We have collaborated with huge consortia and local groups.
We have worked on the inside with the very software we host, so we know what it's like for you and your staff.

We believe in the mission
We are passionate about serving the needs of your users. We want you to be great at what you do — publishing original research, finding aids, digital materials, and whatever else you can imagine — so your users don't even have to think about it.

We got tired of the alternative
We have worked for the corporations who only care about making more space on the site for ads. We have worked for the bureaucracies who put too much paperwork between educators and the public. We have worked with vendors who charge more for less each year.
We had enough of that. Now we work for you.

We are making it better
Since 2011, we have grown to serve more than 300 institutions — libraries, archives, museums, scholarly societies, and more — from small private collections to large public universities. We contribute back to the open-source projects we host, and we're here for the long run.
