### About CollectiveAccess

CollectiveAccess is collections management and presentation software maintained by Whirl-i-Gig and contributed to by the open-source community. The CollectiveAccess project began in 2003 as a response to the lack of non-commercial, affordable, open-source solutions for digital collections management. Almost two decades later, CollectiveAccess has projects on 5 continents, providing hundreds of institutions with configurable, up-to-date collections management software.

A web-based suite of applications providing a framework for management, description, and discovery of complex digital and physical collections in museum, archival, and research contexts, CollectiveAccess consists of two applications: Providence and Pawtucket2. Providence, the “back-end” cataloging component of CollectiveAccess, is highly configurable and can support a variety of metadata standards, data types, and media formats, including document, images, audio, video and 3d. Pawtucket2 is CollectiveAccess' general purpose public-access publishing tool, enabling creation of interactive web sites around data managed with Providence. (You can learn more about Pawtucket2 at https://github.com/collectiveaccess/pawtucket2)

CollectiveAccess is freely available under the open source GNU Public License version 3, meaning that it is free to download, use and share without licensing restrictions.
