Long Island University

Gregory S Hunter, Professor at Long Island University discusses a partnership with community archives and local historical societies.

Gregory explains how the goal of the project was to securely store and make accessible images from over 80 non-profit community archives, helping to ensure these collections stay protected against disaster and remain readable and usable for the long-term. Gregory was intent on not spending his time building an on-campus solution, but instead required an out-of-the-box digital preservation solution to meet his needs, hence engaging Preservica to support this important community initiative.

"We're building a partnership with the community archives on Long Island to help them tell the stories of 'Long Islanders', enabling them to move along in their strategic objectives & build a partnership to preserve and make accessible the important stories they are documenting."
