A leader in offshore digitization, AccessTEI is a new partnership that Apex has formed with the TEI
Consortium as part of a program to pool smaller digitization projects to receive the cost and quality
benefits usually reserved for larger, more comprehensive projects. Apex has over twenty years of
experience handling a wide-range of culturally significant and often difficult-to-digitize material. The
projects in our repertoire include challenging academic material ranging from the handwritten
correspondence of Thomas Jefferson to 15th century texts from the Early English Books Online collection.
Steeped in TEI specifications and academic collections, our project design and production staff is
well-equipped to meet the diverse encoding needs of different customers and projects.

About TEI Consortium
The Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) is a consortium which collectively
develops and maintains a standard for the representation of texts in digital form. Its chief deliverable
is a set of Guidelines which specify encoding methods for machine-readable texts, chiefly in the
humanities, social sciences and linguistics. Since 1994, the TEI Guidelines have been widely used by
libraries, museums, publishers, and individual scholars to present texts for online research, teaching,
and preservation. In addition to the Guidelines themselves, the Consortium provides a variety of
supporting resources, including resources for learning TEI, information on projects using the TEI,
TEI-related publications, and software developed for or adapted to the TEI.
The TEI Consortium is a non-profit membership organization composed of academic institutions, research projects, and individual scholars from around the world. Members contribute financially to the Consortium and elect representatives to its Council and Board of Directors.
