Create a preservation system for born digital and digitized materials to meet the needs of the FSU Libraries Digital Preservation Framework in AWS using Archivematica (AM), an open source software. Enable AM to work with the FSU Digital Repository to allow for simplification of ingest processes for both access and preservation. Enable Ringling Museum to access AM as a test case for further expansion of service to other organizations.

Updates
2023
This initiative is completed. Archivematica (AM) is fully deployed and operational. The system is successfully being used to process preservation packages for the Ringling Archives and for Special Collections materials on a regular basis. Development to have AM interact with the FSU Digital Repository has been moved to a future project to follow migration of the FSU Digital Repository to a new platform in the near future.
2022
Archivematica (AM) is fully deployed at this time. The system is successfully being used to process preservation packages for the Ringling Archives and for Special Collections materials since this fall. Moving all materials out of Glacier through AM and into Glacier Deep Storage will be a priority in the spring semester. The development to have AM interact with the FSU Digital Repository is still forthcoming.
2021
A production instance of Archivematica (AM) went live in mid-July 2021 with organization for FSU Libraries and the Ringling Archives to have their own storage using the same interface. In the next few weeks, we'll begin the loading of materials that were being stored in Glacier. This involves using the Bag-It tool to package and ingest into AM and helping Ringling start their loading processes as well.
