Multi-Site Server: building group collections

Use the CONTENTdm Multi-Site Server to collaborate with other organizations to create outstanding digital collections. CONTENTdm's Multi-Site Server is a valuable tool for organizations seeking to build and manage collections locally while allowing access to a wider range of users.

The Multi-Site Server enables users to query multiple CONTENTdm Servers from a single search interface. Geographically remote organizations can create and maintain their own local collections and at the same time provide users with seamless access to cross collection searching on multiple CONTENTdm servers.

The Multi-Site Server is sold separately from CONTENTdm Digital Collection Management Software. If you are interested in finding out more about this option, please contact your regional service provider.
