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.***
