Résumé

Le développement et le maintien d’infrastructures numériques représentent un défi important pour les petits centres d’archives communautaires. La promesse des technologies libres peut paraître difficile à concevoir étant donné les coûts élevés associés au développement, à l’implantation et à la configuration de nouveaux systèmes, en plus de la migration des données provenant d’anciens systèmes numériques. Quand les centres d’archives communautaires collaborent, par la formation de consortiums, les coûts, les défis de développement et d’implémentation, ainsi que la migration des données, peuvent être mitigés et partagés. Nous offrons une étude de cas sur le développement de la plateforme libre d’accès Acces to Memory (AtoM) chez un consortium de centre d’archives mennonites.
