Digital Member Archive turns decades of scanned member files into a searchable, structured record of your club's full history, not just readable. Understood.
It's not gone. It's just unsearchable.
Every private club with any history has a filing room full of member records nobody can query. Finding one document means walking to the file room and opening a folder. Finding a pattern, which members share a proposer, what era a governance decision came from, who the club actually recruits and why, isn't just slow. It's impossible at any scale beyond one folder at a time.
That's not a storage problem. It's an intelligence problem. The information that would tell you who your club actually is, its admissions patterns, its founding relationships, decades of institutional memory, already exists. It's just locked in paper nobody can search.
Digital Member Archive turns that filing cabinet into a searchable, structured archive. Every file read, classified, and connected, so your club's own history becomes something you can actually use.
The filing cabinet disappears. What's left is a searchable record of everything your club has ever been.
Physical files scanned to PDF, one file per member. Any scan quality, any era, no special equipment beyond a standard office scanner.
The AI reads every page and identifies each individual document within the file. A single 40-page folder might contain 15 distinct documents.
Each document is classified against a club-specific taxonomy, with names, dates, roles, and key details extracted automatically.
Every classification gets a confidence score. Anything uncertain is flagged for a quick human review, never silently guessed at.
Everything in a member's file comes together into one structured profile: admission history, education, governance involvement, a narrative summary.
The filing cabinet goes away. Every document is stored, backed up, and accessible from anywhere, no walking to a file room.
Query across the entire membership. Find every member from a given era, every document tied to a name, any document type, in seconds.
See patterns invisible in any single folder: who proposes whom, where members come from, how admissions have changed over time.
Digital Member Archive runs as its own secure, searchable application, accessible from any device, no new hardware or IT overhaul required. For clubs already on Salesforce, archive data connects directly to the member's record, so your club's history lives right alongside everything else you track.
If your club is also looking to modernize how nominations get processed, Propose automates that workflow the same way this automates your archive.
Your files get scanned, or we coordinate a scanning vendor, and securely transferred for processing.
The AI processes your full archive. Every classification is documented, and anything uncertain is flagged for your review.
Your archive goes live: searchable, structured, ready to use, with new files added as they're created.
Timeline scales with the size of your archive. We'll give you a real estimate once we know roughly how many files and documents you're working with.
