# ArchiviCloud
> Managed hosting for AtoM, eScriptorium, and IIIF — built specifically for Italian historical archives.

## What We Do
ArchiviCloud provides fully managed hosting for open-source archival software to historical archives in Italy. We are operated by Boyne Archives, an Irish archival company with extensive experience running AtoM platforms for Catholic archives in Ireland and the UK. We handle all infrastructure, updates, backups, and security — so archivists can focus on their collections, not their servers.

## Services
- **Hosting AtoM**: Fully managed Access to Memory (AtoM) instances — the ICA's open-source standard for hierarchical archival description. Elasticsearch-optimised, always on the latest version, GDPR-compliant EU hosting.
- **Migrazione da Archimista**: Complete migration service from Archimista (end-of-life 2024) to AtoM, including data export, mapping, import verification, and archivist training.
- **Hosting eScriptorium**: Managed hosting for eScriptorium HTR (handwritten text recognition) — open-source alternative to Transkribus. No per-page costs; models remain client property.
- **Manifesti IIIF**: IIIF manifest hosting via mymanifests.com for online publication of digitised images, compatible with Mirador, Universal Viewer, and international aggregation platforms.

## Who We Serve
Italian historical archives of all types: religious institutes (dioceses, religious orders, congregations), private foundations, cultural entities, and academic institutions. Target clients are archives without dedicated IT staff seeking professional managed hosting with archival expertise.
