Holdings people can actually read. Digitisation ends in a folder of scans and a viewer nobody uses twice. DITA Platform turns holdings into proper readable editions — public where you want them, restricted where you don't.

The problem
The material is digitised, catalogued and safe. It is also, in practice, unread.
Publishing
From scan to readable edition. A scanned page is an image. A reader wants text they can resize, search and read on a phone.
Upload what you have. Scans, PDFs, transcriptions and existing ebooks. We convert, clean and generate covers where they're missing.Your own editions. Scholarly introductions, exhibition catalogues, annual reports and community history, produced as real books.Proper metadata. Import MARC, ONIX or CSV from the catalogue you already keep, rather than retyping it.Readable anywhere. Reflowable text, adjustable type, screen reader support — on a phone, offline, at the kitchen table.Access
Open to the public, or not. Different holdings carry different permissions, and the platform should follow yours rather than impose its own.
Public collections. Anything you're free to publish can be open to anyone, with no account needed to browse.Researcher access. Restrict a collection to approved readers, by invitation or by your own sign-in.Rights you control. Protect material with open-standard LCP encryption where the rights position requires it, and leave the rest open.Reading room only. Where terms demand it, material can be limited to devices on your own network.Practicalities
