The Hydra project is an active worldwide community of libraries and archives
that have come together to design and develop flexible open source repository
solutions to meet the varied digital content management needs that are emerging
within institutions today. Started in 2008, the project now has 20 partners
all contributing to ongoing developments, and a wide range of implementations
for different needs. Examples and further information can be found on the
project website - http://projecthydra.org<http://projecthydra.org/> - and
specific European examples are also listed below, which highlight the
flexibility of the system and its use for a variety of applications and content
types:
University of Hull institutional repository -
http://hydra.hull.ac.uk<http://hydra.hull.ac.uk/>
Museum of the Performing Arts (MAE) of the Theatre Institute of Barcelona -

LSE digital library - http://digital.library.lse.ac.uk/
Royal Library of Denmark student self-deposit repository - http://dias.kb.dk/
The Hydra community is aiming to organise a Hydra Europe event in Spring 2014,
comprising both technical and managerial strands. We are keen to ensure that
this meeting focuses on the information needs of those who will attend and, to
that end, if you are interested please email one of us (contact details below),
highlighting particular digital content issues and/or aspects of Hydra you
would find it most useful for the meeting to cover. We will be locating the
meeting to make it as easy as possible for interested parties to travel to and
so we would also welcome an indication from you as to whether your institution
might be willing to host the meeting. Thank you.
If you are interested in attending (or hosting) please contact one of us using
