Congratulations to the Plains to Peaks Collective on the launch of its new discovery platform 🙌

Bringing together more than 1.2 million historic items from over 60 cultural heritage organisations across Colorado and Wyoming is a remarkable achievement — and an important step in making the region’s shared history easier to discover and explore.

The new platform gives researchers, educators, students, and communities a single place to search across photographs, manuscripts, books, audio recordings, artefacts, videos, and other collection materials. state

We’re incredibly proud to have worked alongside the Colorado State Library, Wyoming State Library, and the wider Plains to Peaks Collective team to help bring their vision for the new platform to life.

Thank you for allowing Veridian to be part of such a meaningful project, and congratulations to everyone involved in reaching this exciting milestone.
