Veridian Software and Elephind.com


It has been some time since I wrote about Veridian Software and Eliphind.com. Veridian Software is collection management software and related digitization services primarily directed at newspaper preservation.

Veridian Software, owned  by DL Consulting, is described from their website as follows:
DL Consulting is the company behind the Veridian collection management software and related digitization services, and www.elephind.com
Since 2002 DL Consulting has been helping libraries around the world retain their position as critical and important community resources. We understand that libraries are responding to an increasing demand for online access to content. Our Veridian digitization services give libraries the ability to preserve archives of historic material and deliver the content as a digital collection to their communities. 
DL Consulting has proven experience delivering large projects for prestigious university libraries, large state and public libraries, and national libraries in the U.S. and abroad. Our staff is highly skilled in managing complex digital collections and is always responsive to issues large and small. DL Consulting is based in Hamilton, New Zealand, with an office in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The related Eliphind.com website contains links to more than 149 million searchable items from more than 2,700 historical newspaper titles from around the world, but mostly from the United States.


 This website is an example of one of the many online digitized newspaper websites that you can find by doing diligent searches on Google. Digitized newspapers are scattered all over the Internet on hundreds of different websites.
