Arches

Members of the Arches Project team talk with Directions Magazine

Last week, Directions Magazine, a leading source of information about geospatial technologies, interviewed two members of the Arches project team about Arches. Yiannis Avramides (World Monuments Fund) and Alison Dalgity (Getty Conservation Institute) spoke to Directions about the project and explained the need for a system like Arches as well as what makes Arches different from other options. Questions had to do with why an institution would choose to adopt Arches, the development approach, and the use of the phrase “Heritage Inventory and Management System” to describe Arches.

Arches at the 2013 CAA Conference

Members of the Arches team from the Getty Conservation Institute, World Monuments Fund, and Farallon Geographics, will be traveling to Australia in March for the 2013 Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology (CAA) conference. Two different papers on Arches will be presented, in sessions S15 (“Databases on cultural heritage and their geographic visualization”) and S33 (“Open source methods and practices in heritage and archaeology.”)

Prior to the conference we will be meeting with several Australian colleagues who are responsible for different heritage information systems, to learn from their experience and needs and to compare notes on our work.

Please contact us if you would like to catch us at CAA in Australia. We are always happy to talk about Arches with anyone who will listen!

We are very excited about the response we have received since we launched this website, and we are looking forward to sharing more information in the coming months!

Welcome to the Arches project!

On January 30, 2013 we launched archesproject.org, a website about the Arches project! Arches is a new, open-source, web-based, geospatial information system for cultural heritage inventory and management. Arches is purpose-built for the international cultural heritage field, and it is designed to record all types of immovable heritage, including archaeological sites, buildings and other historic structures, landscapes, and heritage ensembles or districts. Arches has been developed jointly by the Getty Conservation Institute and World Monuments Fund.

As of today, you may access the current source code of Arches, which is available at https://bitbucket.org/arches/arches. A main launch will follow in June 2013, together with the first release that is available for the public user.

Over the coming months, we will be adding more information to this website, so please make sure to visit us again. Welcome!
