Demo repositories

Three repositories, one platform

We keep demo repositories on HykuUP to show what Hyku looks like with real content: a research repository, a cultural heritage collection, and an audio and video archive. Each uses a different built-in theme. Visit any of them, or book a demo and we’ll walk you through the one closest to your collections.

Research and scholarship

Ellison

A research repository for theses, articles, and research data, using the Reference theme.
