“Having AI integrated directly into Preservica removes the manual, error-prone process of exporting files, running them through external tools, and re-importing results. For an institution managing sensitive health information, keeping that workflow inside a secure, trusted platform isn't just a convenience. It's a compliance necessity.”
Larissa Krayer – Digital Archivist, UNMC
“As archivists, our time is finite and our backlogs are not. What I was delighted to realize was that AI-powered OCR had the ability to create fully searchable metadata across a record in the same time it would otherwise take me to manually type a single subject. Across 250,000 assets, even a minimal manual approach of inputting just file names would be prohibitively time-consuming.”
Hilary Clifford – Digital Archivist, Mount Auburn Cemetery
“It’s one thing to have a database that people can search. It’s another thing to use them to really put a face and a story to what this case is about. I think that’s the real upshot of the Recollection site. Not just that it’s making all of these records easily accessible. But it’s walking people through history, connecting our past with the present.”
Ashton Wingate, Manager of Digital Archives NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund
“The External Submissions tool is a big advantage in the way town staff can participate in the accessioning of digital records and in digital preservation in general. With this tool, there is no need for a file hosting service, submissions go directly to your repository after they’ve been approved.”
Ashley Large, Archivist, Town of Bedford, MA
“Our marketing team use a traditional DAM system for our current campaigns and assets, however, we realized that we needed a digital preservation platform to create a company-wide resource that would ensure our unique heritage assets could be found and reused over decades.”
Lovisa Kragerud, Corporate Archivist & Chief Storyteller, Absolut Company
“Heritage is at the heart of our company culture, our brands, and our products at Bacardi. Every item in our collections tells a unique story and brings to life the heritage of a brand, the spirits industry, and even cultural moments in time.”
Jacqui Seargeant, Global Heritage Manager, Bacardi
“Searching our archive used to mean days of manual work, relying on memory and hoping you hadn't missed anything. Since applying AI-powered OCR in Preservica, that's gone from days to minutes. Whether I'm responding to an internal research request, a GDPR subject access request, or supporting a litigation query, I now have the confidence that my search has been thorough and defensible.”
James Shaw, Corporate Archivist, Iceland
