Archivematica is a digital preservation system that automates the process of preparing digital objects for ingest into a repository and an access system, ingesting them into archival storage and providing access to the archived material as well as uploading access copies to an access system. The process is monitored and controlled through a Web-based dashboard that co-ordinates a suite of micro-services. It relies on normalisation with preservation as the original object and comprehensive PREMIS metadata in METS.xml as its primary preservation technique. | Archivematica is a digital preservation system that automates the process of preparing digital objects for ingest into a repository and an access system, ingesting them into archival storage and providing access to the archived material as well as uploading access copies to an access system.

Any content that can be placed in a directory can be ingested, including images, text files, office documents, publications, audiovisual files, databases and research datasets. Archivematica performs digital preservation actions such as identifier assignment, checksum generation, virus scan, format identification and metadata extraction on all ingested objects. For certain types of files, specialized tools (such as ImageMagick for raster images, ffprobe and ffmpeg for AV files, Ghostscipt for PDF files, Inkscape for vector images, and bulk_extractor and sleuthkit for forensic disk images) are used for metadata extraction, format normalization and other preservation actions. New tools, rules and commands for preservation actions can be added to the workflow using the Format Policy Registry (FPR) via the Preservation Planning tab in the web-based dashboard. | Any content that can be placed in a directory can be ingested, including images, text files, office documents, publications, audiovisual files, databases and research datasets.
