Session Idea: Cloud Computing/Storage in the Archives

[se...@avpreserve.com]

Hello everyone,

Interested in putting together a standard presentation with 2-3 speakers, a roundtable, or open forum regarding projects that use the cloud to support archival work and infrastructures. There is still a general mistrust of the safety and viability of cloud services and I think it would be valuable for archivists to share their experiences using and selecting these services. Its a topic that could stand to be demystified, as I think these services represent cost savings and previously unavailable resources to perennially resource-strapped libraries and archives. Get in touch if you are interested in participating!

Best,

Hi Seth,

As we've just begun offering Archivematica hosting using cloud services, I'm very interested in this topic. Contact me directly to set up a call if you'd consider including me in this proposal.
