In 2006 RLG founded ArchiveGrid, a search engine providing access to nearly a million archive collection descriptions in thousands of libraries, museums, and archives.

When RLG merged into OCLC ArchiveGrid was expanded. When I checked in August 2019 it contained "over four million archival material descriptions."
