Qubit is an open-source software toolkit that will allow institutions such as archives, libraries, museums, and art galleries to manage and host web-based collections of information resources. Qubit supports multi-lingual and multi-repository collections.

The goal is to provide an easy-to-use, flexible toolkit that complies with open standards (e.g. Dublin Core, ICA-ISAD, MODS, EAD, METS) and is developed using an open architecture that takes advantage of emerging web-based tools and practices. Who? Qubit is the collaborative effort of two seperate open-source software projects that have decided to work together to leverage time, knowledge and skills. Each of these projects is using and contributing to Qubit as the underlying toolkit to build their own applications.
