STAR/Archives supports the management of archival collections of all types.  In describing your collection, you can choose an appropriate level within the full hierarchical model—collections, series, containers, and items.

With STAR/Archives you can manage the accessioning process, track donors and generate deeds of gift; describe and maintain multiple archival collections, including collections with digitized materials; reorganize the hierarchies as required; provide web-based access to your collections; search within or across collections; link images and other electronic files; and manage your inventory.

You can also dispense with the labor-intensive process of creating finding aids by using a text editor or an SGML/XML authoring tool.  STAR/Archives dynamically creates EAD finding aids as XML files whenever you need them.
