Advantage Archives is often thought of as a newspaper digitization company — but that description is incomplete.

In reality, Advantage Archives digitizes and hosts a wide range of genealogically valuable materials, including:

  • newspapers
  • city directories
  • yearbooks
  • vital record indexes
  • county and municipal documents
  • community and institutional publications

Unlike some platforms, Advantage Archives typically manages and hosts the sites it creates, rather than handing control off to the customer.
