COTRspace – Institutional Repository

About COTRspace

COTRspace is part of Arca, a collaborative project of British Columbia post-secondary institutions to provide anytime, anywhere access to research created at BC post-secondary institutions.  Arca is a province-wide network of digital repositories that:

• provides access to faculty and student research output across multiple post-secondary institutions via a cross-repository search layer;
• supports the management of institutional digital assets;
• showcases BC as a hub for knowledge creation across Canada and around the world.

Arca is powered by Islandora, a Canadian-developed open-source platform currently in use at over 100 public and private institutions worldwide. This shared platform provides post-secondary institutions with open-access repositories for research, theses, and any other digital assets they wish to make available to the wider community.

COTRspace is designed to promote College of the Rockies scholarship and institutional knowledge. This site is created to help preserve research and other digital assets, with the option for additional privacy through password protection.
