The following documents were prepared by the CDL Digital Special Collections program, and seek to identify content management and creation systems that UC special collections and archives departments can leverage to locally manage and create digital assets. It is primarily aimed towards UC repositories that either do not have a strategy in place -- or are seeking to replace what they currently use with a more robust solution. The systems that are profiled include both commercial and open-source applications. In particular, it also highlights whether the application can generate EAD- and METS-based outputs, which may be submitted to CDL for preservation and access services:
