Demian,
Congratulations on the release! Can you point to any instances of VuFind that demonstrate this:
> - Support for hierarchical collections of records, allowing better integration of archival materials and digital repositories.
This general need has been the focus of much discussion and some development at Stanford, and it is always interesting to see how others tackle this in both the index and the app.
