Thinking Outside the [monolith] Box: A Microservices Approach to Online GLAM Collections

The University of Notre Dame has taken a modular approach to building a new digital collections platform-integrating existing applications to serve the people that manage and use them across the library, archives, and art museum. We began with two assumptions: one size would not fit all for our campus archives, library, and museum; and community needs above all. In this presentation, team members will talk about the past two years of experimentation and development around how to connect our community to our cultural heritage collections through multiple integrations. At a high-level, we’ll discuss our technical architecture that uses legacy applications like ArchivesSpace, an aging Fedora repository, and a decades-old museum database together with the IIIF framework and open-source GatsbyJS. In addition to describing the technical architecture, we’ll also discuss some of the metadata considerations that have brought the collections together in a centralized, federated platform.
