title: Can Alfresco function as an archives management system?
body: <p>I am trying to figure out what is the exact difference between a document management system and archives management system? For example, what is the difference between Alfresco and Archivesspace (<a href="http://www.archivesspace.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.archivesspace.org/</a>)?</p>
  
  <p>Can Alfresco function as an archives management tool? What is the difference between the two? I read there is a record management module in Alfresco, is this what is meant by archives management?</p>
