Historical Collection Projects

We have worked with several journal projects since our founding in 2001. We recognize in particular the unique character of local history. Unlike other book or serial projects, a collection of an institution’s history may be the sole extant complete copy. For this reason alone, IDI treats these collections in exactly the same way it has handled rare book and manuscript collections from such institutions as the Library of Congress, The American Antiquarian Society, The NYHS, The British Library, Yale, Harvard, Columbia and GWU and others that have entrusted their collections for digitization to our care.

We know that these books manuscripts, photos and periodicals are critical resources of information about towns or regions history and, in some instances, a tool to promote development activities among its residents. Quality digitization is critical to these documents. To that end, we pay particular attention to the handling of these materials, ensuring as much as possible that they are returned in the same condition in which they arrived.
