Silverchair designs and builds websites to host scholarly content and creates specialized features and interfaces for interacting with that content. Founded in 1993, the company began as a packager for medical textbooks, changing shape over time and launching the Silverchair Platform in 2010 as a hosting solution for digital journals, books, multimedia, and more. Since its inception, Silverchair has worked with some of the most accomplished names in scholarly and professional information, spanning the worlds of commercial publishing, professional societies and associations, governmental agencies, and academic medical centers. In 2017, the Silverchair Platform hosted an average of over 150 million user sessions each month. Rooted in Charlottesville for 25 years, Silverchair stands apart from its Silicon-Valley-based competitors, and was honored in 2017 with the Charlottesville Business Innovation Council’s Business of the Year Award.
