DSpace is one of the first open source software platforms to store, manage and distribute its collections in digital format. As much of the world's content is now being developed and disseminated in digital format, the DSpace software supports next-generation digital archiving that is more permanent and shareable than current analog archives. DSpace can support a wide variety of artifacts, including books, theses, 3D digital scans of objects, photographs, film, video, research data sets and other forms of content.
DSpace is available to anyone free of charge under the BSD open source license, which allows research institutions to run it as-is, or to modify and extend it as needed.
