With a vast collection that includes 20 million manuscripts and archives, 4.8 million books, 250,000 photographs, 4,500 ebooks, and 350,000 journal subscriptions, the Library needed an efficient DAM system to streamline the management, access, and utilization of its extensive digital content.

The system empowered users to self-serve digitized content, streamlined access to restricted items, and integrated the Communications team's branding efforts. It also supported multiple file formats, optimized search functionality, and seamlessly connected with existing systems like ILS and ArchivesSpace.
