Digital preservation and long-term data archiving for Heritage and Higher Education

The heritage industry has a big job on their hands to preserve history for future generations to access. Digitised assets need to be easily searchable and usable to create business value and digitised files need to be protected forever. Born-digital assets create a particular problem with evolving technology and long-term access, as software tools and applications are constantly evolving and being updated, which means there is often no guarantee for how long you can access your resources. Arkivum Perpetua addresses this issue by combining our fully managed service with Open Source software to ensure long-term access to your digital collections while guaranteeing 100% data integrity and the peace of mind of an out of the box solution.

Arkivum’s Perpetua will integrate with EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS) so that content can be seamlessly discovered and accessed across the combined solution. Perpetua supports the preservation, safeguarding and access of a wide range of content within an institution including special collections, scholarly outputs, teaching materials, organisational records and other materials that an institution might need to keep for the long-term. Through the integration with EDS, all content will be discoverable alongside other institutional resources and materials. This provides staff, researchers and students with a single place for finding and using valuable archival content.
