UEL Case Study: Enabling greater accessibility to valuable collections of community heritage

As a customer of Arkivum for several years, UEL’s primary focus had traditionally been archiving data from research projects conducted by their academics.

However, this focus has evolved with UEL’s Archivist, Paul Dudman, in the Library, Archives, and Learning Services having acquired a rich collection of oral histories and other digital objects over recent years. These materials are of value and importance to scholars and the communities whose heritage has been captured. It was therefore imperative to ensure the robust long-term safeguarding and accessibility of these records.

Beyond the foundations of secure long-term storage and the data integrity guarantee, the Arkivum solution enables the university greater control, accessibility and flexibility in managing the data in the archive.
