Archive Impact President, Kim Schroeder, a Wayne State University Library and Information Science graduate attributes her firm's success in Detroit, in part, to the result of recruiting talented employees from the area. A staff of 40 librarians, archivists and information management personnel contribute diverse professional training and educational backgrounds to the success of Archive Impact. Day-to-day production specialists, field experts and senior consultants function in a range of capacities to strengthen the depth of the company.

As Archive Impact continues to grow, its combination of local roots and worldwide clientele will publicize the opportunities for business and technology in Detroit to a global market. Archive Impact's commitment to the city is firmly established by the company's presence in the historic Book Tower Building, and the development of products such as an interactive CD-ROM showcasing Detroit history. The company will continue to direct projects that will generate public awareness and enthusiasm about the history and culture of Detroit. Future plans include the addition of new research services in such areas as historic building research and period authentication, the expansion of the company's photo stockhouse and the development of multimedia educational products.
