Digital Repository Experts for Forward-Thinking Institutions
We help institutions create living digital repositories that scholars actually use
Since 2007, we have been developing and transforming institutional repository software, built repositories that serve millions of objects and hundreds of terabytes of scholarly content, and democratized access to humanity's cultural and intellectual heritage.
Who we work with
Notch8 has helped us build and run ScholarWorks, California State University's system-wide repository, since 2020. When we moved off DSpace, they built the features our campuses needed, including thesis deposit and campus-only access, and their engineers still work alongside our team every week.
