Hyku

A robust and flexible digital repository platform for institutions of any size

Hyku is a digital repository that provides a robust and flexible platform for institutions to manage, preserve, and provide access to digital content. Providing easy-to-configure, feature-rich solutions, Hyku reduces barriers to effective asset management and is supported by a vibrant and ever-growing open-source community.

Hyku is useful to institutions of any size in managing collections of digital assets, particularly libraries, archives, museums, and historical societies, with collections of cultural heritage materials, particularly if technical resources and infrastructure are limited. Hyku strives to provide all institutions with access to the benefits of a digital repository without needing to hire and retain developers.
