How Accessible is Your Paper's History?

Never before has so much information been so easily accessible. The internet has transformed how we find and consume data. Information can now be easily shared with anyone around the world. Unfortunately, a great deal of historical information is still only available by accessing paper originals or microfilm records. Gaining access to these records may require traveling to the location where they are stored, and once there, searching for the details you are after can be like searching for a needle in a haystack!

Who is Pigeon Archive For?

Pigeon Archive was originally created to help online newspapers protect their archive and provide new revenue streams. However, Pigeon’s power goes far beyond just newspapers and is a great match for any content publisher that has created or currently creates a print product that needs to be digitized and searchable. Pigeon works great for many scenarios including…

  • Newspapers

  • Magazines

  • Counties

    (Will Books, Marriage Certificates, Minutes)

  • Lawyers

  • Educational Resources

Great for eEdition too!

Pigeon Archive is an excellent option for presenting your eEdition. Present your current print editions in an easy-to-read format along side your website and archive.

Bonus - Seamless Paywall Integration!

Pigeon Archive is an extension of our popular Pigeon Paywall plugin. This means you can also have immediate access to all the great features of our super secure paywall system. If enabled, you can restrict access to your archive to only users with a paid access pass. You can also use the super flexible paywall system throughout the rest of your website! Some of the paywall features include:

  • Seamless integration with your existing website and CMS.
  • Straight-forward login process for existing subscribers.
