Dear Friends, Welcome to Tiny Archives!
What began as an idea in graduate school in 2010 has grown into a tool designed for all of us — archivists, artists, creators, families, educators, and anyone with a collection to preserve.
At the heart of archives and preservation is the Finding Aid, the essential guide that ensures materials remain discoverable and accessible.
Tiny Archives is more than just a tool — it’s a growing community of people dedicated to preservation.
Join us and let’s build something enduring, together.

FACTool is our Finding Aid Creation Tool — a simple, standards-based tool for describing archival collections.
Tiny Archives is an independent, archivist-led platform built for people who care about preserving personal and historical materials.
FACTool allows users to create, edit, open, import, and export Finding Aids that describe archival collections.
We are developing thoughtful AI tools to enhance archival workflows while maintaining transparency, ethics, and user control.
