What is ArchivesSpace?

The New York University Libraries, UC San Diego Libraries, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Libraries  and the California Digital Library are partnering to develop a next-generation archives management application that will incorporate the best features of Archivist’s Toolkit (AT) and Archon. With funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the project team is developing a technical platform,  governance structure, and service model that will provide the archival community with a cutting-edge, extensible, and sustainable platform for describing analog and born-digital archival materials.

The planning process developed:

Archivists’ Toolkit and Archon will remain available while the development process is underway. The ArchivesSpace development project timeline will include:

  • Development of a new, unified software system
  • Migration of current AT and Archon installations to the new system
  • Selection of an organization home

    Chris, This page looks good to me as it stands right now.

    Since processing of big collections is now frequently done using spreadsheet software for container lists in progress (Excel, Access), it is a problem for processors if the software cannot provide a full spreadsheet overview of the container list at any given time. Please considered adding a feature to ArchivesSpace that enables a full container list view, with option for editing (find/replace, insert, delete, copy, paste, etc.).

      Shelley, thanks for your comment. We’ll consider this as a potential option for the ‘rapid data entry’ portion of the tool.
