Islandora is an open-source software project managed by a non-profit Foundation.

What is Islandora?[edit | edit source]

Islandora is both a community of institutions who use Drupal for digital asset management, and a selection of software tools and instructions that solve common repository tasks (in Drupal, and using a suite of accompanying open-source software).

We maintain a number of software components, which can be broken down into:

  • Drupal Modules, which provide useful site-building capabilities. Islandora modules are maintained collectively by volunteers under the direction of the Foundation. Includes islandora, jsonld, openseadragon, matomo.
  • Islandora Profiles, "starter sets" of Drupal config and modules that make Islandora tools available out of the box. We currently have the Islandora Starter Site and Islandora Sandbox/Install Profile. (RL: I'm trying to deprecate the latter)
  • Non-Drupal Services and libraries, like Crayfish, Crayfish-commons, Alpaca, and Syn
  • Provisioning Tools, which create an environment with external services like Solr, Matomo, Fedora, Blazegraph, and Crayfish, and then install and configure an Islandora profile. We currently have ISLE and Playbook.

We have a website, a slack channel, mailing list, and interest groups. We are organized by the Islandora Foundation.

There are also a number of Islandora community modules, which work with Islandora but are developed and maintained by individual community members.
