METSFlask

A web application for human-friendly exploration of Archivematica METS files.

Live site (try it out!):

http://bitarchivist.pythonanywhere.com/

All files uploaded to METSFlask are deleted after being read into the database. Database entries are deletable by all users at any time. That is to say - feel free to upload and view your own files! You can delete them from the web app as soon as you're done.
