Archives at the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS)
The Archives at the National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS) in Bengaluru — a public centre for the history of science in contemporary India, holding over 350,000 processed objects across 50-plus collections — runs its catalogue on ArchivesSpace, describing material to the ISAD standard and delivering EAD-compliant, OAI-PMH-harvestable finding aids. ArchivesSpace is synced with DSpace, which serves the archive's digital objects through an IIIF endpoint and embedded viewer and provides AIP-based digital preservation. A distinctive Indian example of pairing open-source ArchivesSpace description with DSpace-based digital-object management and preservation.
