Archivematica is an open-source application for preserving digital content and maintaining long-term access to it. It supports processing from ingest through access in line with the ISO-OAIS functional model, using standards including METS, PREMIS, Dublin Core, and BagIt. Archivists can configure ingest choices and control steps such as format identification, privacy checks, package extraction, transcription, and normalization. Its editable Format Policy Registry provides policies for these processes and integrates with PRONOM. The dashboard supports searching archival storage and downloading Archival Information Packages as packages, individual objects, or collections. Deletion through the Storage Service requires justification and approval. Documented integrations include AtoM, ArchivesSpace, Avalon Media System, DuraCloud, Swift, Islandora, Arkivum, Handle.Net, and Dataverse; API references cover Archivematica and the Storage Service. The software is free to download, install, and use. Artefactual offers hosted service starting at $11,440 a year and Enterprise Subscriptions starting at $28,600 a year.
