AMPL builds open-source primitives for community archiving: the Digitization Toolkit captures, Fisqua catalogs, Zasqua publishes, and Telar tells. They are designed to work together as a full pipeline, but each can be used independently — with other tools, or on its own — depending on what an archive needs. All are built on open standards and minimal-computing infrastructure, so the work an archive puts into them belongs to the archive.
An open-source framework for weaving IIIF images, audio, video, and texts into layered visual narratives — for scholars, students, and communities working with digitized objects.
A web-based authoring environment for Telar stories — visual composition in the browser, static output in your own repository.
A digital archive with no servers: tens of thousands of historical documents, millions of image tiles, and sophisticated search and filtering — all as static files.
A cataloging platform built on minimal-computing infrastructure — open-source, standards-based, hosted by AMPL or self-deployable.
An NEH-funded project to develop an integrated toolkit of hardware, software, and documentation to allow lower-resourced institutions, collectives, and communities to digitize their archival collections at low cost.
