About 15-20GB every 2-3 months. This will probably increase to about 20-25GB over the next few months, as several new projects will be starting.

The idea was to take the stress off the network drives (the largest of which is 700GB), but still have the files readily available to staff. david David Turk Manager, Preservation Imaging Services Indiana Historical Society Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center 450 W.
