-The technical documentation covers a range of topics of interest to those working with ArchivesSpace in different technical capacities, and is organized in order to help you find the information most appropriate to your role.
+This repository contains the content and source code for the [ArchiveSpace TechDocs site](https://docs.archivesspace.org/).
+
+## Content
+
+The documentation content is found in `src/content/docs/` with the following structure:
+
+- **Architecture** - System architecture and components overview
+- **Administration** - Running and maintaining ArchivesSpace
+- **Provisioning** - Deployment and scaling
+- **Migrations** - Data migration guides
+- **Customization** - Configuration and customization options
+- **Development** - Local development and contributing
+- **API** - API documentation and usage
+- **About** - About the TechDocs repository
+
+## Source code
+
+TechDocs is a [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) application, built with [Astro](https://astro.build/) and its [Starlight](https://starlight.astro.build/) documentation site framework. Content is written in Markdown. Automated testing is done with [Cypress](https://www.cypress.io/). The source code is hosted on [GitHub](https://github.com/archivesspace/tech-docs). The site is statically built and hosted via [Cloudflare Pages](https://pages.cloudflare.com/). When the source code changes, a new set of static files are generated and published shortly after.
+
+### Requirements
+
+1. [Node.js](https://nodejs.org) v18.17.1 or v20.3.0, v22.0.0 or higher (v19 and v21 are not supported) - this is an [Astro requirement](https://docs.astro.build/en/install-and-setup/#prerequisites)
+
+### Running TechDocs locally
+
+```sh
+# First clone the repository and install its dependencies
+
+git clone https://github.com/archivesspace/tech-docs.git
+
+cd tech-docs
+
+npm install
+
+# Next, either run the dev server at http://localhost:4321/ which instantly reflects changes to the source code,
+npm run dev
+
+# or build the static site for production
+npm run build
+
+# and optionally serve the static build to http://localhost:4321/
+npm run preview
+```
+
+### Testing
+
+Running the tests requires either the dev server or the production build to be running at http://localhost:4321/, ie:
+
+```sh
+# Build and serve the production build in one terminal,
+npm run build
+
+npm run preview
+
+# then run the tests from another terminal
+npm run test
+```
+
+### Scripts
+
+The following scripts are made available via [package.json](./package.json):
+
+- `npm run dev` - Start development server
+- `npm run build` - Build for production
+- `npm run preview` - Preview production build
+- `npm run test:dev` - Run tests in development mode
+- `npm run test:prod` - Run tests in production mode
