ArcLight Community Development 2014-2022

Envisioned as a collaborative project since its inception, ArcLight has been made possible through contributions of design, requirements analysis, software development, and testing from both Stanford Libraries and a number of contributing institutions. To date, there are seven ArcLight implementations. 

ArcLight demo videos

Videos that demonstrate in-progress features and functionality are created as part of ArcLight development work cycles, and are available to watch on the Stanford Digital Library's YouTube site.
