Adam Wead

Systems and DigitalCollections Librarian

Ex nihilo No ILS No archival processing software No preservation storage No digital initiative

Vendor Decisions Bundled solutions are expensive

Innovative & ExLibris Vendor products didn't fit our needs for video

Uncompressed video, PBCore metadata Partnered with Case to become an affiliate Chose Archivist's Toolkit for our processing

software

Digital Decisions Video was the priority: induction ceremonies Required lots of storage and specialized

processing Opted for the Fedora repository architecture

Flexibility with storage systems and metadata standards

Chose a vendor to digitize our tapes

Hydra Fedora is only a backend Needed a web-based interface to

manage, catalog and ingest content Hydra gives you the ability to manage

Fedora within a web framework: Ruby on Rails + Solr + Blacklight

Storage Initial estimates were for 250 TB of data with

expansion over time Required two off-site copies, geographically

separated Cloud storage was too expensive at the time--

probably still is HSM solution: combines hard disk and tapes Multiple tapes are stored offsite: Museum

downtown, and Iron Mountain in PA

Discovery Three data types: MARC, EAD, PBCore Funneled into one datastore: Solr Interface to sSolr for library data:

Blacklight EAD are separated into multiple item-

level records for better searching All content in Hydra is item-level

What’s Next? Image digitization workflow and

processing: 4 TB 90,000 image backlog An institutional repository for the Rock

Hall Extending Hydra's capabilities with other

institutions’ solutions

prioritize collections Create policies,

Challenges Starting backlog of 50K items Coordinating description

standards across library and archives

Updating the discovery interface to incorporate

RDA elements Digital video, images, and audio Crowdsourcing widgets Aesthetic changes
