The Espy Project: Enabling New Access to Archival Materials

Home / Topics / Access & Equity / The Espy Project: Enabling New Access to Archival Materials

March 13, 2018

Gregory Wiedeman
University Archivist
University at Albany, SUNY

The University of Albany’s M.E. Grenander Department of Special Collections & Archives is developing a digital repository for both archival descriptions and digital content that will make its collections usable to a broad audience. This involves connecting implementations of major open-source projects, such as ArchivesSpace and Samvera, over APIs to deliver archival material in ways that are now comfortable and familiar on the web. The impetus for the project is a CLIR Digitizing Hidden Collections grant to facilitate computational research on capital punishment with the M. Watt Espy Papers.
