[RNLD] collections management

[Paul Sutherland]

Hi Nick,

We at the American Philosophical Society recently switched from Archivists' Toolkit to ArchivesSpace. Although membership (with support) comes at a fee, the project itself is open-source. I hope this is the kind of thing you are looking for.

Subject: [RNLD] collections management

It seems like many small agencies are looking for a collection management system that can help organise their collections of recordings, images and texts. A few have built their own systems.

Does anyone use or know of open-source systems that could be adapted to do collections management in this context?

I know there are several systems for presenting cultural information, but this request is about systems that make it easier to create descriptions of, for example, a collection of recordings, images and texts in a language. They should allow for controlled vocabularies and use metadata that can be adapted to local needs.

Thanks,

Nick
