What our customers say about Axiell Collections

It is amazing to be able to tie collections together with the thousands of others worldwide. A search that starts at the Swedish Historical Museum may lead to other archives, institutions, countries and even continents. We are excited about our collaboration with Axiell to enrich our collections and work with digital solutions in new ways.

Wilhelm Lagercrantz, Digital Development Historiska, Stockholm

It’s a huge benefit that we can work remotely. We are not dependent on the hardware that is stored in the Museum. I can also give other people access, such as volunteers and students of the Reinwardt Academy, who will help out with the upcoming collection management tasks. One intern recently had an accident and could only work from home. With Axiell Collections she can still do her job thanks to the online service.
