The Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT) is a 50m-diameter single dish millimeter-wave radio telescope located in Mexico, built by the country of Mexico and the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The National Science Foundation Mid-Scale Innovations Program (MSIP) is now supporting access to the LMT for any astronomer located at a US institution with a share of total 15% of the scientific observation time. The LMT cyber-infrastructure is being innovated to accommodate the new science operation workflow. We developed and deployed the LMT data archive, fully integrating the data pipeline, data model, and data management workflow of most LMT instruments. For the LMT data archive, we use our own installation of the Dataverse software as the backend, with a custom-built frontend to provide a user-friendly search interface for discovering data products. The data model and data management workflow are developed along with the commissioning (hardware and/or software) of the instrument specific pipelines. The software package dvpipe is developed to package the data products from the instrument specific pipelines as science-ready data products and put them into the LMT data archive.
