Intake
Receive files and batches with integrity checks, quarantine, managed derivatives and a visible source trail.
Managed intakePictoria System
One system with
four connected spaces
Pictoria combines its interface, catalogue services and managed data in one working environment. Intake, Catalogue, Explore and Knowledge give each moment a distinct place within the same system.
A continuous path from arrival to research
Each space supports a different task. Records, files, sources and permissions preserve continuity as work moves between them.
Catalogue
Develop descriptions of works, images, agents and places alongside their sources, authorities and revision history.
Institutional recordExplore
Use structured search, collections and working sets to assemble research contexts around the material.
Research workspaceKnowledge
Follow relationships and citable sources beyond the individual record through governed research access.
Governed relationsThe workspaces are one part of the system
The visible interface, application services and managed data operate as one architecture.
Workspaces
Intake, Catalogue, Explore and Knowledge organise the tasks people perform in the interface.
Application services
Search, workflow, reconciliation, derivatives and authority connections support those tasks across the system.
Records and assets
Structured records, stable identifiers and managed digital assets preserve continuity beneath the interface.
Local or privately hosted
Pictoria uses the same catalogue structure, scoped permissions and managed files across local and privately hosted environments.
Direct local custody
The database and managed files stay inside the chosen workstation or protected local environment.
Private shared access
Shared accounts, PostgreSQL and private object storage support collaborative institutional use.
A consistent system structure
Deployment changes the operating environment while preserving the same catalogue model.
Assisted work follows a documented review path
Selected extraction, reconciliation and research services support defined tasks, with their contributions available for comparison and review.
Prepare
