Work with what you have
Start with an existing catalogue, a spreadsheet, or a set of image files. We examine how the records connect, what is missing, and what your team wants people to do.
Who we work with
Make your collection easier to discover and use.
We work with archives, museums, libraries, and collection owners to improve access to images while keeping the original records accessible.
Choose one useful outcome
That might be better search for staff, a public browsing tool, or a new way to share a part of the collection. A focused prototype lets you assess the idea before committing to a larger build.
Keep your team in control
Agree how generated descriptions will be checked, who can approve changes, and how the work fits your existing systems. Sources and credits stay attached to the material.
MTL Archives
MTL Archives brings public municipal photographs into search, an interactive explorer, a daily game, and social stories. It is an independent reference project using open data.
