Frontis Archive Publishing System is a content management system and electronic document and records management system (EDRMS) and is primarily used for publishing historical archives on-lines for researchers to search.
Concept[edit]
Frontis was launched in 2008, allowing the publication of both structured and unstructured website content for intelligent searching. Because it is deployed as a software as a service it is particularly of use to small voluntary organisations such as family history societies and historical organisations who do not have an IT infrastructure and sometimes struggle to find a simple way of publishing their records and archives to reach a wider audience. Its design and functionality was based on The UK National Archives standard for EDRMS.[1][2]
A number of heritage organisations use the Frontis system, including the UK's leading Genealogical Society the Society of Genealogists;[3] and Frontis powered sites currently publish over 20 million records on-line (2012 figures).
Awards[edit]
In 2008, the innovative concept behind Frontis was recognised when it reached the Final of the Kent Innovation Challenge,[4] a competition sponsored by SEEDA, a UK Government body.
The Frontis powered Families in British India Society web site has won a number of awards[5] from the Federation of Family History Societies including:
- 2011 Best Web Site (Large Society);
- 2010 Best Web Site (Small Societies);
- 2008 Best Web Site (Specialist Society).
