Welcome to Wright Information Indexing Services! We provide indexes in whatever format you need.

Our site will answer your questions about book indexing, controlled vocabularies, and processes that make your information easily found. Please visit the daily blog to keep up on indexing and related subjects that are intriguing.
Wright Information provides personalized attention to your project, with depth and understanding your readers will value. With over nineteen years of intensive documentation and publication experience, we know how books and information are produced in print and online.

New developments: Jan Wright is now co-chairing the ASI Digital Trends Task Force, focusing on active indexes and search integration in eBooks and eContent. Part of the mission is to outline specifications for indexes in eBooks, and to fulfill that goal, ASI joined the International Digital Publishing Forum and developed the charter for ePub 3.0 Proposed Working Group on Indexes. The Working Group has been officially formed, and specifications are in program. We are also working on ways to get active and interesting index features in eBooks.
