Created in Charlottetown at the University of Prince Edward Island, Islandora is anopen-source software framework designed to help libraries and other institutions to collaboratively manage, and discover digital assets using a best-practices framework. If this year’s APLA conference is an opportunity to “share and celebratethe work we do every day,” then it seems like a good fit to have a look at the historyand success of this Atlantic Canadian project and its growth and adoption around the world.

In this session, we will discuss the history of the project and how it has developed far beyond what was initially imagined, while providing a basic overview of how Islandora works and is maintained, for those who may be interested in knowingmore about the platform itself.
