# asiArchive Business Description
asiArchive is a digital repository and research resource based in Tavistock that preserves and provides access to decades of academic papers and conference materials from the publishing and media industries. Operating as the custodian of the Publishing and Data Research Forum (PDRF) archive since 2019, the organisation maintains an extensive searchable database spanning from 1981 onwards.
The business serves researchers, academics, industry professionals, and practitioners working in publishing, broadcasting, data research, and media sectors who require access to historical conference papers, industry insights and thought leadership. This includes delegates from previous events, scholars studying publishing evolution, and professionals seeking foundational research in their field.
What distinguishes asiArchive is its role as a dedicated institutional memory for a niche but significant professional community. Rather than operating as a generic paper repository, it maintains continuity with the PDRF's 38-year legacy whilst expanding scope under asi's stewardship. The platform offers sophisticated searchability by paper, author and topic, making research discovery efficient for users navigating substantial archives.
The organisation also functions as a gateway to current industry events through its sister asiConferences platform, creating a seamless connection between historical knowledge and contemporary discussions. By maintaining both permanent archives and expanding to include materials from Radio, Audio, Television and Video conferences, asiArchive positions itself as a comprehensive resource for the entire media and publishing research ecosystem. The temporary cloud-based archive system demonstrates flexibility in content delivery whilst the searchable database ensures accessibility remains central to their mission.
