store your archive data safely and correctly
With Museum.link you store archive data securely and in a structured way. The platform uses a standardised data model that ensures long-term storage and good searchability. At the same time you can easily connect the archive to other systems and platforms, such as K-samsök. That is why museums, collecting projects and EU projects use Museum.link to store and manage digital collections according to established standards, including the GDPR.
Secure storage of archive data
Museum.link stores your archive data in a secure and stable hosting environment. Redundant backups protect the material against data loss and make sure the information is always available. The platform also runs in data centres with a high level of security and clear routines for operations, monitoring and data protection.
An archive system built on Omeka S
Museum.link is built on the established open-source platform Omeka S. Museums, archives and universities around the world use the platform to manage digital collections and archive data. It supports international metadata standards and makes it easy to structure, publish and integrate archive data with other systems. Its open source code also makes the solution sustainable in the long term and free from vendor lock-in.
Metadata according to Dublin Core
Museum.link uses metadata according to Dublin Core to describe and structure archive material. These established standards make the content more searchable and easier to integrate with other systems and heritage platforms such as K-samsök, Kringla and Europeana.
GDPR and secure handling of archive data
Museum.link helps projects and organisations handle archive data in line with the GDPR. You always own your data and decide how the material is stored and used. The platform is built on open source and stores all data on our own servers in Sweden. This gives museums, research projects and other archive initiatives a safe and transparent solution.
A digital archive that supports many file formats
Create digital archives that support most kinds of digital material, such as images, documents, sound and video. Digital objects are stored together with their metadata, making the content searchable and easy to structure. Original files can be kept in high quality, while the system automatically creates smaller versions for fast, smooth publishing on the web.
Export and analyse archive data
With Museum.link you can export all or part of your archive data to other systems and analysis environments. This makes it possible to use the material in research projects, reports or other digital platforms. You can also analyse the content directly in the database with tools for queries, statistics and visualisation.
AI for smarter digital archives
Artificial intelligence can be used to improve the quality and searchability of digital archives. With techniques such as image recognition, OCR and automatic metadata, the system can identify text, images and content in collections. AI can also be used to categorise material, find gaps in metadata and make archives more accessible through, for example, automatic transcription and translation.
