FAIMS Project

The Federated Archaeological Information Management System (FAIMS) project is an eResearch Tool, funded by the Australian National eResearch Collaboration Tools and Resources (NeCTAR) program.

FAIMS is led by the University of New South Wales, Sydney, in collaboration with 40 organisations, including universities, archaeological consultancies, and heritage agencies in Australia and overseas.

The goal of FAIMS is to build a comprehensive suite of information systems for archaeology, including: mobile device applications for "born digital" archaeological data, data manipulation tools, and a central online platform for the capture, exchange, analysis, and storage of data
produced by archaeologists.
