Additional benefits include:

  • Viability: the machine learning model is more cost effective making large projects realistic and accessible.
  • Efficiency: the machine learning model can automate volumes of documents with the click of a button once trained.
  • Accuracy: the machine learning model can be trained to recognise all handwriting styles quickly, with high levels of accuracy, centralising this skill set for future projects.

We’re thrilled with how Informa has used Transkribus on our Poor Law Union minute books. For the first time, we have transcribed searchable handwritten text using AI-powered software.

This is a game-changer in the archives world and has opened up exciting new possibilities for our collection users.

Search your Archive Documents

Share your collections online, using Informa’s digital Library solutions. It is as easy as importing your media and metadata. Unlike modern documents, archival system users are often looking for a different, more intimate experience when they search for information. Given that archival collections can vary greatly from 2D artefacts (photos, maps, books, diaries, letters, documents, art, sketches etc.), to 3D artefacts (coins, clothes, fossils, writing tablets, wallpapers etc.), system users want a superior framework that can showcase these digital items to their former glory. Informa can advise you on how to provide your clients with a user-friendly interface that can guide and customize their search to bring them to the Holy Grail.

With our Archival eSearch:

-Users can easily browse and search content in your digital library with a powerful search engine to help refine their search using timelines, locations, iconography etc. -Users will enjoy the same high-end experience regardless of the device being used i.e., mobile, pad, desktop, laptop. -You will increase public traffic on your digital library and hence strengthen the value of your collections, by providing an enriched discovery user experience. -You can breathe new life into your physical artefacts by showcasing them as a collection of superior images which are second to none.
