Backstage Library Works operates as a mid-sized professional services firm focused on expanding access to cultural heritage collections. It serves libraries, museums, and archives, helping them make materials discoverable and viewable while preserving them for future use. Its service scope includes cataloging and metadata work, digitization and microfilming, authority control and record enrichment, and on-site tasks such as inventory, reclassification, and RFID tagging. Based in Provo, Utah, the company provides staffing and expertise to support librarians and archivists in pursuing their access and preservation goals. Customers include libraries, museums, and archives seeking to broaden access to holdings and ensure long-term preservation. The firm positions itself as a provider of both operational services and staffing to implement diverse workflows in cataloging, metadata, digitization, and related activities. In 2023, it expanded its offerings with DEI initiatives and a new Archival Service solutions line, reflecting growth in areas beyond traditional cataloging. In early 2026, it announced a partnership with Ingram Content Group to tailor and streamline the provision of shelf-ready books to library customers.
