Digital curation micro-services offer a light-weight
alternative to preservation systems that are developed
on digital repository and framework technology stacks.
These are often too complex for small and medium-sized
memory institutions to deploy and maintain. The
Archivematica project has implemented a micro-services
approach to develop an integrated suite of free and
open-source tools that allows users to process digital
objects from ingest to access while applying format
specific preservation policies. Inspired by a call to
action in a recent UNESCO Memory of the World
report, the goal of the Archivematica project is to reduce
the cost and technical complexity of deploying a
comprehensive, interoperable digital curation solution
that is compliant with standards and best practices.
