Mock demo for archives and collections
Publish a collection and say exactly what visitors can have
Every item carries one of three rights tiers: open, request-only or restricted. The public catalogue shows the record for all of them and explains the rule, so nobody has to guess.
Three tiers, one clear rule each
The record is public; the content is released after a short review.
A visitor states a purpose and an archivist approves or declines.
Only the catalogue entry is public. Content stays with the archive.
Held back by consent, donor terms, condition or an embargo date.
