Seeklight is JSTOR's AI tool for archivists — generating high-quality metadata through a multi-step process of classification, prompts and human oversight. Co-developed with practitioners as part of JSTOR's digital stewardship work, and purpose-built to support archivists rather than replace them.
Benefits & outcomes
At Goldey-Beacom College Library, students described 172 historical photographs in 4 hours — against a previous rate of 250 per year.
The shift: from authoring every word to reviewing and governing at scale.
