Albert The Digital Repository of the IAS is built with DSpace-extension software - maintained and optimized by 4Science.

Albert is a digital repository for works created by IAS scholars. By offering a central location for preserving research or other scholarly work (including datasets, working papers, pre-publication scholarship, and published papers), the digital repository makes research available to a wider audience, helps ensure its long-term preservation, and can be used to fulfill grant-funded mandates.

The Albert system, first introduced in the fall of 2017, is an ongoing project under continuous development by IAS with support and optimization provided by 4Science. In particular, 4Science provided IAS with the IIIF Image Viewer to enhance and enrich the browsing experience of the institute’s Krateros Project, as well as provided support for the update to DSpace-CRIS 7.3 in early 2023.
