for your complete
archive and heritage
management
Today’s heritage collections are rich and unique
repositories of community knowledge and
information in both physical and digital formats.
However, the dilemma many organisations often
face is how to make these diverse collections
accessible and searchable to their communities.
Our solution is Spydus10 Cultural Collections,
a Web-based system for archival materials and
heritage collections, including multimedia, with
digital preservation options.

Connecting People - Enriching Communities
One Simple Search
Spydus10 is Civica’s integrated Cultural
Collections, Library Management and
Digital Asset Management solution.
It connects today’s users with the past
and enriches the unique community
experience of each organisation.
Spydus10 Cultural Collections enables
your organisation’s rich collection of books,
papers, images, and multimedia materials
to be just one click away from discovery.
It utilises faceted search and collection
browsing features. Your organisation’s
archive collections can be refined by
material type, time period, geographic areas,
subject heading, plus more. Thumbnail
images to digital assets can be linked to
each record to create an attractive and user
friendly interface.
Spydus Cultural Collections integrates
your organisation’s archival materials with
traditional library resources for a single,
or separate if preferred, search as the
modules can be used separately or
altogether. It allows the full value of your
archives and your library collection to be
easily realised and managed.

Digital Preservation
Spydus10 Cultural Collections enables

your collections. It has workflows for the
accessioning, cataloguing and the conservation
of both physical and digital assets. It also has
functionality to track requests, loans,

digital preservation companies. As an
optional module, Spydus10 has developed
specific integration with third party digital
preservation software to ensure that items
continue to remain accessible and usable.
