Welcome to DSpace

DSpace is an open-source digital archiving system designed by MIT Libraries and Hewlett Packard to capture, manage and share research in digital formats.

Over 200 academic institutions and cultural organizations worldwide have adopted DSpace -- as an institutional repository, for learning materials, for records management and more.
