It is a new era of access for the Amistad Research Center thanks to the Center’s recent implementation of innovative archival collection management software. Archon, a collection management system for archives and manuscripts collections developed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has assisted in revealing the richness of Amistad’s holdings, has sparked staff to take on additional preservation projects, and has enhanced public relations in a variety of ways.
