About QSpace

QSpace collects, preserves, and distributes digital content produced by members of the Queen's community.

Content grows daily as new communities and collections are added to QSpace.

QSpace content is organized around Communities which can correspond to organizational entities such as schools, departments, labs, research centers, etc. Within each community there can be an unlimited number of subcommunities and an unlimited number of collections. Each collection may contain an unlimited number of items. Each community can have its own distinct identity and logo. Each community and collection can have its own policies on submission, workflow, content and access.
