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.</div>

<b>Subject:</b> [RNLD] collections management</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">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.
<div><br>
<div>Does anyone use or know of open-source systems that could be adapted to do collections management in this context?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I know there are several systems for <i>presenting</i> 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. </div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
