Re: [MCN-L] data archiving

[Emma James]

Hello,

​​
If you are looking to be follow the OAIS model, y
ou can
​save money if you ​
​do some of the digital preservation yourself by
consider
​ing​
 open-source
​software
 paired
​along ​
with a storage service
​(​
like Amazon Glacier or Arkivum, as suggested below
​)​
. I suggest
​Artefactual Systems' ​
Archivematica as a manageable open-source ingest and AIP-
​packaging​
 tool. I wrote my Master's thesis (2015) on digital preservation in the
museum context,  and I was greatly impressed by NY MoMA's use o
​f​
Archivematica, as well as their development
​of their own digital archive indexing software, also developed with
Artefactual Systems, called Binder, which is now also a free, open-source
tool available on GitHub.

If you want a more PaaS-type (preservation as a service) tool, I suggest
you refer to the Digital POWRR Tool Grid, which was part of an IMLS-funded
study to investigate recommended scalable digital preservation solutions
for institutions with smaller amounts of data and/or smaller amounts of
funds to put towards digital preservation.

Best of luck!

In the UK there is a company called Arkivum who have a good reputation.
Their work comes out of EU funded research projects.

Matt,
Have you looked into the Digital Preservation Network [1]? It is a
project still in development but they have an interesting billing plan
and are aiming specifically at cultural heritage data. 

Best,
Stefano

Hi Matt, 

Digital Bedrock provides low-cost managed digital preservation services for any 
size collection. Formerly called Audiovisual Archive Network (AVAN), it's 
expanded beyond AV files to any file type and any kind of organization or even 
individual. It's currently in development and should be launched in the Fall. 

If you're interested in learning more, we can discuss off-list. 

Best,
Linda

Subject: [MCN-L] data archiving

Good evening. In trying to come up with a long-term preservation plan for 
digital image master files, we've spoken to reps at a few digital repositories 
which offer professional services, but at a higher per-TB annual storage cost 
than our small museum can afford (anywhere from $1200-$2000/TB/year). Are there 
reputable archives with lower fees? I'm not sure where to begin looking. Thanks 
for any insight.

Best regards, Matt

Re: [MCN-L] data archiving (Matt Wheeler)

[Glen Barnes]

The base _costs_ for online storage through Amazon s3 is ~$370/year. Plus
there are costs for pushing data into and out of the archive, another
copying in Amazon Glacier, plus developing the archival software so
$1200-$2000/year isn’t too bad but can be expensive for smaller
organisations.

You could try and roll something yourself if you basically wanted multiple
copies stored offsite. I would look at Amazon Glaicer + another storage
option that can have more on demand access. Backblaze have launched their
cloud offering at $0.005/GB month which comes out at $62/year for storage
with free upload. Add Amazon Glacier at $82/year and you have quite
reasonably priced storage across 2 different cloud providers.

You would have to manage all of the _preservation_ aspects yourself but the
storage becomes quite cheap in this scenario.

Thanks
Glen

Hi Matt:

What kind of preservation services are you looking for? Backup, regular
migration, integrity audits? Others here can speak to their own methods and
what the best practices are nowadays, but if you're just trying to have an
offsite backup with some redundancy, you might look into Amazon's Glacier.
