by cultural memory organizations, for digital preservation
In the belief that it is our own responsibility to preserve digital files, the member organizations have agreed to band together for the common good of the institutions we serve and scholars around the world.
To that end, we have joined MetaArchive, a digital preservation network that empowers organizations to preserve content safely and cost-efficiently, while retaining complete ownership and control of all digital files.
May our cooperative approach become a powerful force for the free exchange of ideas and knowledge everywhere.
The collection includes more than 5,400 images that document the institution's rich history. These scanned images are stored as JPG and TIFF files in the Archives' instance of DSpace (viewable at Georgia Tech History Digital Portal).
This collection consists of thousands of scholar-contributed datasets and digital images related to the slave trade. The database contents and website, viewable at www.slavevoyages.org, are preserved in the MetaArchive and routinely versioned by the LOCKSS software.
This collection consists of over 40,000 images of digitized books, art and manuscripts, many viewable at Folger's LUNA Insight repository at luna.folger.edu. Currently, more than 4 TB of master tiff images are now preserved in the MetaArchive network.
