-- Feel free to share with any interested parties. --

The Archon Users Collaborative has released an updated version of Archon, an open-source archives collections management tool.

Archon 3.21-rev3 is the result of a cooperative project funded by seven institutions in order to ensure the stability of the Archon core code to be compatible with PHP 5.6. This version of PHP is projected to be supported until January 2019. In addition, Archon 3.21-rev3 includes a web application firewall, ModSecurity and partial phrase search capabilities across identifiers and record groups. It is available for download from https://github.com/archonproject/archon.

Archon 3.21-rev3 was cooperatively funded by Berea College, Carleton College, Denison University, Luther College, Oberlin College, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, and Wheaton College in 2016-2017. The revised code was developed under contract with LibraryHost, LLC, and tested by several institutions across the country. This is freely available to the entire Archon user community.

In May 2017, a group of Archon users and interested parties participated in Archon Day, held at Denison University in Granville, Ohio. As a result of discussions relating to the viability and use of Archon at their institutions, the participants adopted the name Archon Users Collaborative to establish an official user group. The Archon Users Collaborative also identified three initiatives to explore during the 2017-2018 year:

  *   Conduct a Census of Archon Users to identify current user needs;
  *   Develop a method to facilitate discussion among the user community; and
  *   Research other open-source software governance models to sustain the Archon tool and user community.
