## Description

Archivematica is a web-based digital preservation application for archivists, librarians, and memory institutions. It processes digital objects from ingest through to access following the ISO-OAIS functional model, creating trustworthy Archival Information Packages using METS, PREMIS, Dublin Core, and BagIt standards. Users control preservation micro-services through a web dashboard. The system supports multiple ingest workflows including BagIt, digital forensic images, SIP arrangement, and dataset management. A Format Policy Registry handles format identification and normalization, linked to PRONOM. Production installations run on Ubuntu 24.04 or Rocky Linux 9 via Ansible or manual packages; Docker Compose is available for development. Optional Elasticsearch 8.x provides search across backlog, appraisal, and archival storage. Paid support, hosting, training, and consulting are offered by Artefactual Systems.
