Searching and browsing through a Veridian collection
When the digitized newspaper collections we create with our clients can range from thousands to millions of pages, efficient, well-designed search and browse functionality is essential. Without it, users will quickly get lost among the vast content held in a collection, with the worst possible outcome being they give up on their
information quest.
Veridian is thoughtfully-designed so that content can be accessed easily by collection users, in a timely manner. Users will almost always have a key topic or keywords in mind when they approach a collection, so an effective search and browse function means they can retrieve the information that is relevant to them.
Swiss National Library Collection surpasses 6.5 million pages
The Swiss National Library Collection has recently achieved a significant milestone, exceeding 6.5 million pages within the collection.
This Veridian digital collection was launched in July 2018, and encompasses digitized Swiss newspapers
from 1692 onwards. It is the successor to the previous Presse Suisse en ligne (Swiss press online) digital collection, both of which are a result of the Swiss National Library and a number of Swiss cantonal partners wishing to digitize their newspapers and make them publicly available.
We’re proud to be part of this important collection, and
enjoy working with the Swiss team to continue to grow the archive.
