The
company responsible for the scanning and the search technology
is ColorMax, based out of Paynesville, Minn. Although the
company is geographically close to Carleton, Hillemann insists
that no other company in the country is as prepared
for the work ahead. "If I were in California,"
Hillemann says, "I'd probably still send the newspapers
to ColorMax."

The Concordia
College Archives has been discussing the digitization of
the college newspaper for years; however, we struggled finding
a company that had a high-quality product at a price we
could afford. ColorMax was able to meet both of these requirements,
and we are thrilled with the result! The
ColorMax staff has worked closely with us to determine
costs, walked us through the image capture and OCR process,
and provided answers to our questions and concerns throughout
the process. The graphic user interface has provided a much
needed solution to providing access to a vital component
of the college's history. Moreover, the interface
is easy to use which increases our ability to assist
our users. Our digitization project has received a positive
response from the college community which is a great assurance
that the project has been worthwhile.

I have been working
with ColorMax on a variety of digitizing projects for the
last two years. They are easy to work with and spend
the time necessary to really understand what we are doing.
Their pricing is always competitive and their service
and products are outstanding.

Working with ArcaSearch, the Minneapolis Labor Review newspaper launched an on-line archive in 2004 going back to Volume 1, Number 1 published in 1907.
The capacity of the searching feature is simply amazing. You can search thousands of pages for your keyword or topic in just a few seconds. In addition, you have the ability to reproduce quality photos, graphics and advertisements from the downloaded images.
We hear all the time about how the Labor Review Archive has become such an invaluable research tool: from scholars, students, and labor union members researching the history of their union.
