Armadillo Systems: Books

These guys designed the British Library WPF application. 

Armadillo Systems is probably the foremost provider of interactive solutions for books, documents and manuscripts in the world.

We specialise in producing unique applications that provide access and interpretation for items that would otherwise remain under glass and we understand the tension that exists between the need for conservation and the requirement of access. We have been working with libraries and museums since 1997 and developed the award-winning Turning the Pages TM technology with the British Library.

We have developed a methodology of approaching bibliographic projects that encompasses thinking about the book in 5 ways:

  • the book as object
  • the book as content
  • the book as icon
  • the book as window into the past
  • the book as gateway to future learning
