The document discusses the Archives Hub, a union catalogue of finding aids for archives held in UK universities, colleges, and other organizations. It has over 20,000 finding aids from 150 institutions. The Archives Hub developed open source software called Cheshire for Archives to allow institutions to host and manage their own finding aid data through a shared infrastructure. This provides interoperability without effort and gives control back to repositories while also making the data more accessible.
