Binder is an open source digital repository management application designed to meet the needs and complex digital preservation requirements of cultural heritage institutions. Binder was created by Artefactual Systems and the Museum of Modern Art.

Binder aims to facilitate digital collections care, management, and preservation for time-based media and born-digital works, and is built from integrating functionality of the Archivematica and AtoM projects.
