Accessible Archives' Advisory Board Assists in the Transition to Coherent Digital LLC

CAPE CORAL, Fla., July 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Accessible Archives Inc. was acquired by Coherent Digital LLC on June 15 and Unlimited Priorities LLC was retained to help with the transition.

In that spirit, the Accessible Archives Advisory Board has an especially important role in the transition of Accessible Archives to Coherent Digital's History Commons – from testing the content as it is loaded to providing input on improving the user experience. In addition, the Board will provide further insights into our free services – including Discovery, Counter, MARC record – and furnish more input on our social media and maybe talk them into guest articles!

The Board has added a new member – Ronda Rowe, Head of the University of Texas System Digital Library. Welcome Ronda!
