A Community of Relations: Mukurtu Hubs and Spokes

This paper describes the history of CMS and our current project Mukurtu Hubs and Spokes: A Sustainable National Platform for Community Archiving funded by the IMLS as part of their National Digital Platform initiative in 2016. This project is an extension of the social, cultural, and technical work of developing the CMS software to the current 2.0.7 release. CMS is community driven software that addresses the ethical curation of, and access to, cultural heritage. The Hubs and Spokes grant will create regional centers of support and training and update the software to a 3.0 release. Each hub will contribute to the software updates and provide local training and support for community users.
