New Members

• AP Trust - Digital repository with 20 university members, running on AWS with a minimum of AWS
• Ohiolink
• Vintage Computer Federation

University of British Columbia

• Bronwyn Meme
• Based out of the Digital Services Portfolio (Digitization, Scholarly Communication, Digital Repository, Digital Preservation)
• Archivematica used to apply OAIS processes and to integrate with existing staff and service resources
• Development done with Archivematica since 2011, focus was on digitized content
• Gap analysis flagged digitized, born-digital, and institutional repository for need
• Pipelines
  • DSpace (institutional repository)
  • ContentDM (digitized material)
  • Educloud (redundant storage service)
  • Video Processor
  • Atom (digitized and born-digital archival material)
• Integrations
  • Artefactual-Artefactual systems are relatively easy to integrate
  • ContentDM integration is relatively more difficult because the DIPS already exist in ContentDM, so Archivematica must produce a text-file to associate the AIP UUID with records in ContentDM
  • DSpace (CIRCLE) uses the Replication Task Suite to automate the ingest of uploaded material
    • For a program creating videos of math lectures, masters are deposited directly to Archivematica and only service copies are added to DSpace for size reasons
• TRAC self-audit in 2014
  • Used the MIT-Artefactual TRAC review tool, which was a key reason to choose the TRAC audit
  • Audited documented weaknesses in infrastructure, security management, and evidence
  • In order to address specific areas for improvement, the library created a digital preservation working group with representatives from many library members
  • Long-term, the working group is recommending regular convenings and a digital preservation communications program.
