New York University Libraries, in partnership with UC San Diego Libraries and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Libraries, has been awarded a grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to lead a partnership in developing the software that integrates the Archivists' Toolkit (AT) and Archon into an open-source, next-generation archives management system. The integrated product, known by the working title ArchivesSpace ( www.archivesspace.org), will capitalize on the functional strengths of AT and Archon, both of which were released in 2006, to create a more powerful, flexible, and resilient archives collection management and access system.*** * For more information, see the press release<http://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2011/07/22/nyu-libraries-and-partners-developing-next-generation-archives-management-system-with-grant-from-mellon-foundation.html>. <http://forens.es/8>**** Mark A.
