About us
Dedicated primary source publishing and technology
We have a passion for primary sources and the technology that brings them to life. We hold that digitisation widens access to historically significant content, and are proud to work with education and heritage institutions around the world to make their materials accessible and discoverable online.
What we do
Adam Matthew was founded in 1990 with a belief that scholars should be able to access a diverse range of primary sources for research and teaching. Over the last 30 years, the way we interact with primary sources has evolved. From physical microfilm to cutting-edge digital collections, Adam Matthew evolved too.
Now as AM, we’re reimagining what a primary source can be. Behind the new name, we're still the same dedicated team focused on delivering high-quality content, sector-leading technology and personalised customer service.
Our mission
We believe that at the heart of education is the freedom to think critically. Harnessing the latest technologies, we reimagine primary sources to empower current and future generations to challenge, analyse and debate.
What makes AM different
Combining high-quality content with a platform built to surface and showcase unique digital assets, we're dedicated primary sources.
Why primary sources matter
Digital archives allow students and scholars to immerse themselves in first-hand records that prepare them to question, analyse and debate.
How access drives impact
Expanding archive access increases visibility and supports long-term stewardship of your most important digital assets.
