CMT Documentation Portal

Welcome to the Collection Management (CM) Documentation Portal!

This portal houses documentation related to the implementation, support, comparison, analyses and integration of archival collection management tools, and makes this documentation available free of charge.

The CM Documentation Portal documents local guidelines, manuals, and instructions for tools used by archivists and librarians to manage archival collections, including proprietary programs, open source software, and home-grown systems. This includes tools that can be used for digital asset management but are being employed for collection management aspects by an institution.

We accept documentation in all formats, including but not limited to: PDFs, Microsoft Word documents, LibGuides, websites, blogs, etc. The Collection Management Section will review the portal once a year to check for and remove broken links, but submitters are encouraged to notify the Collection Management Section Web Liaison, Bernadette Birzer, at bbirzer@tulane.edu when documentation is updated or the link changes.

Select on the tools below to access the available documentation:

• ArchivesSpace
