I would rather let AS speak for itself. http://www.archivesspace.org/overview I don't think that I made a clear distinction, and like many modern tools, AS can do a lot beyond its core function. It can be used to present digital collections, but that is not its strength. It can also integrate with repository software — I have seen it working with DSpace — to provide a more integrated, archive oriented solution. I am far from being an AS expert. How does your institution use Archivesspace?
