Legacy databases → CollectiveAccess
Centro de Estudios Espigas (UNSAM)
The Centro de Estudios Espigas at UNSAM — one of Argentina's premier archives for the history of art — adopted the open-source CollectiveAccess to process its collections under standardised archival norms (ISAD(G)), replacing ageing databases as part of a broader archival-informatics and physical-housing upgrade supported by Patronage (Mecenazgo) funding. Espigas has collaborated internationally with peers such as MSSA on shared CollectiveAccess practice, reflecting the platform's growing role across Latin American cultural institutions. An Argentine university-archive example of standards-based, open-source description.
