Tailoring websites and search tools for the people who preserve America’s stories and histories to share them with today’s audiences
Our clients in the library and information services professions require special tools to organize, digitize, and democratize millions of books, periodicals, multimedia assets, and historical artifacts entrusted to them to be shared with individuals around the world seeking information and context. Many also need inviting online spaces to share visitor information, event details, and industry best practices.
What is uploaded into a digital archive or library database must be retrievable, and that means designing and implementing websites and web applications with exceptional search and filtering functionality. It also requires easy-to-navigate user interfaces for the wide variety of individuals, from academic researchers to grade-school students, who regularly use them.
We help our clients do this work by delivering sites that anticipate and fulfill audience needs, whether it’s official documents from a U.S. president or programming tips from a local librarian. We help construct dependable connections between those who collect and safeguard information and those who seek it.
Who We Serve in the Library and Information Services Industry
Members of their team from all over the country came to our facility to help us figure out what we needed for the two projects we started with them. In addition to our main website, we’re simultaneously working with Culture Foundry on digitizing and migrating the contents of a heavily data-driven archival website into another one….Everything that we’ve asked Culture Foundry to do, they’ve completed. Nothing’s been left hanging, and they never over-promise. In the past, we had been sold things that couldn’t be done. We had kept throwing money at a project and ended up with nothing. With Culture Foundry, it has been the opposite.

What We Know About Library and Information Services Websites
The most notable measurable outcome from this project is the creation of our beautiful new website design! We launched the much-improved Programming Librarian in early 2024, to widespread praise from our readers and stakeholders….Culture Foundry absolutely delivered items on time, and their work was of the highest quality…They were organized, clear in their delivery of materials, and excellent communicators.
