ICYMI: on Friday we managed a double release! 🎉 Archivematica 1.18.0 (SS 0.24.0) & AtoM 2.10.0 are now both available! Please see release notes below for further information on dependency upgrades & enhancements. AtoM: github.com/artefactual/... Archivematica: wiki.archivematica.org/Archivematic...

As Autumn makes itself known, we're edging closer towards releases for AtoM and Archivematica. Thank you to our community contributors for their work on these! August was busy with pull requests and bulk issue closures. Check out the latest contributor blog for more details.

In July, the contributor community celebrated first-time contributions to Archivematica and more contributions to AtoM. We have also announced plans to close a number of inactive Archivematica issues at the end of August. Read more about this & our current release work in our recent post.

Back in June, we took the stage at the Archiving 2025 Conference! If you’re interested in learning more about Artefactual, we invite you to watch our short presentation on our blog for an insightful look into what we do!

June was a busy month for the AtoM and Archivematica contributor communities. Open source software is only as strong as the communities that support it; the future of both projects is looking bright.

We're on the move again! This week we are exhibiting at the Archiving 2025 Conference. If you are in Granada we would love to meet you. #digipres #archives #culturalheritage #archiving2025

Minutes from our first community development meetings are now available online #digipres #archives www.artefactual.com/post/introdu...

Kicking off DLM forum with a visit to the State Archives in Gdańsk and their story of protecting the materials in their custody during times of war #dlmforum

It was a pleasure to be included as a case study discussing how it is possible to be both a commercial enterprise and work in the open, in alignment with our values. See "Shorthand falls short: Why open infrastructure defies simple labels" in the 2025 IOI report. investinopen.org/state-of-ope...

Archivematica 1.17.1 has been released! It's a minor release, addressing a fix in the Docker build. Installation instructions are linked in the release notes: wiki.archivematica.org/Archivematic...

AtoM 2.9.1 has been released! Lots of community contributions in this one 🫶 www.artefactual.com/post/growing...

If you would like to read the full blog post about our views on openness and open source software, it has been posted on our website. Happy May 1st! www.artefactual.com/post/open-by... #opensource #digipres #archives #labourday #mayday

Happy May Day! May is also Maintainer Month, highlighting the work of those who care for open source projects. Being open isn’t the only way to contribute to a practice of care but we think it is the best way. Today we are going to post some of our reasons why. #open #opensource #digipres #archives

May your AIPril baskets be full of aips - oops we mean eggs! Hoppy Easter from all of us at Artefactual.

Based on your feedback we have brought back more formal roadmaps for both AtoM and Archivematica. Please take a look and contact our Community team if you have questions www.artefactual.com/post/roadmap...
