Integrating Legacy Repository Systems with Archivematica

Archivematica is a free and open-source digital preservation system that is designed to maintain standards-based, long-term access to collections of digital objects. Courtney Mumma, the Archivematica product manager and systems analyst, will talk about the system. Archivematica recently worked with the University of British Columbia Library to integrate their existing CONTENTdm digital collection management system with Archivematica to add digital preservation services to digitization workflows. The presentation will explore the feature requirements and development of this CONTENTdm integration as an example of how the Archivematica project's open source development model works.
