Connecting EPrints Repository Systems with the Archivematica Open Source Digital Preservation Workflow

In 2018, we proposed an integration plan between the EPrints Digital Repository and the Archivematica digital preservation system. Following three years of software development, requirements refinement and testing, we released the integration as a plugin to EPrints in 2021. This presentation will revisit the original rationale for the integration of these two systems and explain how the current version of the plugin is being used and how it compares to the original integration plan. We will conclude with a discussion of some possible future enhancements envisioned for the integration.
