This year, we are spotlighting our Architect and above level sponsors of the Texas Conference on Digital Libraries (TCDL), taking place June 2-4, 2026 in Austin, Texas. We would like to thank our Architect sponsor, TIND, for their generous support of the event. Read on to learn more.
A modern platform to manage your digital collections, scholarly material and research data
TIND helps libraries manage, preserve, and share their digital content. Whether you’re looking for a digital archive, an institutional repository, a research data management system, or all three on one platform, our products can be used individually or together depending on what your library needs:
- TIND Digital Archive (DA) to manage and provide access to digital and special collections, including text, images, audio, and video. Built-in OCR and handwritten text recognition (HTR) make digitized documents searchable at the page level.
- TIND Institutional Repository (IR) to manage scholarly materials such as articles, theses, and dissertations, with support for journal publishing and Google Scholar indexing.
- TIND Research Data Management (RDM) to capture and preserve datasets of any size and format.
Preservation is built in across all three products, checksums, fixity checks, PREMIS metadata, AIPs, and full file and metadata versioning. Collections are flexible: rather than being locked into rigid folder structures, a record can live in multiple collections at once, defined by metadata queries that can be adjusted over time.
A few customers worth naming
We’ve migrated customers from CONTENTdm, DSpace, Islandora, BePress/DigitalCommons, Fedora, Luna, SobekCM and homegrown setups, including:
- The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center implemented TIND Digital Archive in May 2025, migrating image collections from CONTENTdm, audiovisual materials from Aviary, and digital exhibits from Omeka.
- UNC Greensboro consolidated its Gateway Digital Collections and NC DOCKS institutional repository onto TIND in 2024. David Gwynn, Digitization Coordinator: “We were seeking a sustainable long-term solution for our evolving IT environment, centered on an externally hosted platform, and TIND seemed far and away the best option for us.”
- Florida State University selected TIND Digital Archive to manage more than 125,000 cultural heritage items in its FSU Digital Library, including materials from the Warren D. Allen Music Library and the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art Archives. Krystal Thomas, Director of Digital Archives: “TIND DA provides an excellent, user-friendly experience, along with tools to better organize, manage and brand our collections.”
- San Francisco Public Library migrated from Islandora to TIND Digital Archive in 2024, bringing 50,000 photographs, manuscripts, and oral histories — over 10 TB of content dating back to 1850.
We’ve also worked with George Mason, Reed College, Elon, UNC Charlotte, The University of Tulsa, and others.
