Nebium is a mobile survey app designed for archivists, collection curators, and preservation professionals. It facilitates the appraisal and assessment of archival collections, making it easy to record information in the field or in situ, and seamlessly link recorded data to an enterprise archives management system. The app allows users to easily note things like condition, research value, and restricted materials at the collection or container level. Designed to integrate with ArchivesSpace, Nebium is also a stand-alone tool that is able to export your survey data as CSV or PDF. Our poster session will include a prototype of the Nebium app, as well as documentation of the open-source Nebium data model.
