Case Study: Cinémathèque québécoise modernizes film archive access with Axiell Collections

Cinémathèque québécoise unifies film archive search with Axiell Collections

Cinémathèque québécoise, a film archive, faced significant challenges managing its high-volume, multi-format collections with an outdated Microsoft SQL database. Their system lacked a unified hierarchy, siloed different collection types, and had limited support for international standards, which hindered access and scalability. They partnered with Axiell to find a modern collections management system that could address these issues and support their complex preservation needs.

By implementing Axiell Collections, the vendor provided a centralized cataloguing system that unified search across all collection types and offered better metadata control. This migration streamlined internal processes and significantly improved access for both the public and researchers. As a result, Cinémathèque québécoise has modernized its infrastructure and is now focused on launching a public online catalog and syncing records with international databases.
