Your mission, your materials. We provide guaranteed, personal solutions to assist libraries and archives with preserving, organizing, and describing your collections to enhance discovery and user access.
Backstage Library Works partners with libraries, museums, and archives like yours to help you serve your communities. We’re dedicated to providing you the best experience possible so you can focus on doing the same for your patrons.
Backstage gets the job done, frees you from your backlog, and enables you to operate more efficiently. We leverage powerful technology and deep expertise to make your metadata more useful and your paper, microfilm, and digital collections more accessible.
With our efficient workflows honed over the course of decades, Backstage offers a unique combination of automated and hands-on metadata services.
With linked data a growing part of the metadata landscape, you want an authority control vendor who is on the forefront of advances in identities management.
With our own darkroom and lab, Backstage does not outsource film processing or duplication. This allows us to monitor and control the entire process from start to finish, maintaining the highest level of quality in the microfilm we produce.
Our Collection Management teams have scanned, reclassified, archived, and shelved library collections. We help with weeding, cleaning, inventory and more.
We will correct to the client’s satisfaction, and at our expense, any problem with our services no matter when such a problem comes to light. We believe in quality and a job well done.
Backstage has focused on serving the needs of libraries, museums, and archives for more than 35 years. Many of our employees—from management to camera technicians and catalogers—have dedicated their entire careers to working with institutions like yours.
We assist you in designing a complete project solution, enhancing your capabilities with technology and expertise in imaging, metadata, and physical processing to help you every step of the way.
Technology advances. Standards and best practices evolve. Patron needs change. Priorities shift. You can't stand still, and neither can we. Backstage is always interested in exploring new ways of serving our partner institutions. Let's build something new together.
