Re: [CODE4LIB] Archival Software

2012-08-09 Thread Laura Smart
We've done a very recent analysis of archival systems and decided upon
a new architecture based on our local functional specs.  This was
greatly informed by the CLIR report. I blogged a bit more detail on
the solutions we've selected and are in the process of implementing at
http://library.caltech.edu/laura/?p=299 .  Re: ArchivesSpace - our
plan is to implement Archivists Toolkit before ArchivesSpace is
released and rely upon the migration assistance they intend to provide
to the community.

FWIW - there is no "one Archival system to rule them all."  You will
probably have to use more than one piece of software.

I find Omeka to be stronger in the area of collections publication and
exhibition than hardcore archival management due to the rather rudimentary
Dublin Core metadata foundation.  You can make other element sets, but it's
not a perfect solution.

As an archivist, this is still a very broad response.

Are you looking to manage archival collections (accessioning, arrangement and

We use homegrown (avoid this!) system which we are planning to
programatically move to Archivists Toolkit [0] which meets the
inexpensive need below. YMMV on the `ease of use`. Our team at the Univ.
