Jeffrey Kiley Email & Phone Number

My name is Jeff Kiley, and I am the co-founder of Advantage Archives. I have a passion for history, specifically the history contained in the pages of old newspapers, local primary source materials, and printed accounts of the past. My team at Advantage partners with communities across the country to preserve and provide practical free access to their collective history, at any time, from anywhere. I believe that the preservation of our collective history is a shared responsibility. I challenge like-minded communities to join Advantage in our mission to ensure their “first draft of history” is available for current and future generations. The guiding principles of our organization are both personal and straightforward: Preserve the past, make it accessible in the present, and ensure its future.We work to build strong community-based partnerships to preserve and digitize history allowing communities to understand and connect to their past in a meaningful way. We make local history accessible by providing each community we partner with their own Community History Archive, an online search platform that is friendly, intuitive, and easy to learn. Anyone can browse, search, view, clip, and share articles, headlines, pages, and the stories recorded in the pages of the community newspapers, yearbooks, documents, directories, photos, and more. Just type a search and hit “enter” or browse to a specific year, month, day, or page in any (or all) publications contained in the archive.Intended to serve as a “portal to the past,” our platform allows those primary source documents to give an accounting of history as told by the individuals that witnessed it. When stitched together, these pages tell the story of the people, places, and events that shaped the community.
