CollectionSpace is an open-source collections management application that meets the needs of museums, historical societies, and other collection-holding organizations. CollectionSpace is designed to be configurable to each organization’s needs, serving as a gateway to digital and physical assets across an institution. The software is freely distributed via open-source licensing, and an active developer community ensures that CollectionSpace is continually improving.

Our dynamic software is comprised of a suite of modules and services that serves as a flexible core of collections information from which interpretive materials and experiences - from printed catalogs to mobile gallery guides - may be efficiently developed. The extensible architecture allows it to be connected with other open-source applications already in use by the cultural sector including those for archival management, online exhibition creation, and digital asset management.

Our international and multidisciplinary scope is further illustrated by our implementation partners:

• Phoebe A. Hearst Museum of Anthropology, Berkeley, CA
• University and Jepson Herbaria at the University of California, Berkeley, CA
• Statens Museum for Kunst, Copenhagen, Denmark
• Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN
• Museum of the Moving Image, New York, NY
• Miami-Dade County, Department of Cultural Affairs, Art in Public Places, Digital Collection Initiative, Miami, Florida

Now entering its third year, CollectionSpace continues to be generously supported by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
