For Educators
Curriculum that outlasts broken links.
Your reading list, preserved for every cohort.
You spend years building the perfect syllabus. Then a key article disappears, a case study goes behind a paywall, or a news story gets retracted. Backdrop archives your entire curriculum so every resource is available for every cohort, indefinitely.
Permanent reading list archives
Archive every assigned article, case study, and supplemental reading. Broken links become a thing of the past.
Shareable course collections
Create a collection per course and share it with students. They get access to clean, ad-free reading without hitting paywalls.
Annotated teaching notes
Add instructor notes and discussion questions directly to archived readings.
Case study preservation
Business cases, legal rulings, and news stories used as examples are archived before they change or disappear.
Multi-format access
Students can read clean text, view the original HTML, or download a PDF of any archived resource.
Year-over-year continuity
The archive you build this semester is still intact next year. Build once, teach forever.
