While the above sectors represent our core communities, PastView is used far more widely. Anyone with a digital collection can benefit from a platform built for access, discovery and storytelling.

We’ve recently worked with James Hyman, Guinness World Record holder for the largest magazine collection, to bring the HYMAG archive online.
