ARCA: A Collaborative Repository Network
YURSpace is part of Arca, a collaborative initiative that supports the development and implementation of digital repositories in British Columbia and beyond.
Through centralised coordination and a collaborative approach, Arca:
- Ensures organisations can offer a high-quality, responsive digital repository service at an affordable cost.
- Maximises system efficiencies through centralised licensing, expertise, best practices, and support.
- Builds a community of practice that extends expertise, nurtures innovation and cultivates collaboration.
- Facilitates search across digital assets from all participating organisations.
- Seeks opportunities to strengthen and build new partnerships.
Arca is built on Islandora, a Canadian-developed open-source platform currently in use at over 100 public and private institutions worldwide. This shared platform provides organisations with open-access repositories for research, theses, and any other digital assets they wish to make available to the wider community.
