Islandora
Drupal module for browsing and managing Fedora-based digital repositories.
Islandora provides a Drupal‑based framework for building and managing digital repositories that store content in a Fedora Commons backend. The core module connects Drupal to Fedora via Flysystem, enables background processing through a message broker, and integrates with Context to control repository behavior. It also offers optional submodules for image, audio, video, and text processing, IIIF manifest generation, and breadcrumb navigation that reflect collection hierarchies.
The software is aimed at institutions such as libraries, archives, museums, and other organizations that need to curate, discover, and preserve diverse digital assets. It leverages Drupal’s content management capabilities, Apache Solr for indexing, and Fedora’s linked‑data preservation layer, supporting standards like IIIF for scalable access.
Islandora is released under GPL‑3.0, self‑hostable, and maintained as a stable, open‑source project. Installation is handled through Composer and Drush, with required dependencies including Context, Search API, JSON‑LD, JWT, and several Flysystem‑based services. Documentation and community resources are provided to assist administrators in configuring brokers, Gemini servers, and other integration points.
