Avalon Media System is an open source system for managing large collections of digital audio and video. The project is led by the libraries of Indiana University and Northwestern University with funding in part by a three-year National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
For more information and regular project updates visit the Avalon blog.
Instructions on how to get a local installation of Avalon Media System installed on your system are available for Linux and OS X.
