An open-source, open-standards solution to capture, store, index, distribute & preserve scholarly works in any digital format — TXT, ODT/DOC, PDF, JPEG, MPEG, TIFF and more.

For those who want an Enterprise Class, fully-featured Digital Asset Management System (DAMS) — also known as an Electronic Repository — with comprehensive functionality and advanced options.

If electronic resource management is an important need for your organization or library; if your documents include both born-digital material and items that need to be digitized and preserved; if you need a powerful search engine paired with a genuine preservation mechanism — DSpace is the right fit.

DSpace builds a DAMS for academic, non-profit, commercial, or any type of organization. It's the most widely used DAMS in the world, with more than 1,000 installations and a growing, active user community.

Its most common use is as an open-access institutional repository — academic and research libraries running it to manage material created by their own faculty and students. Many organizations also use DSpace to host dataset, subject, or media-based repositories.
