After much deliberation with our members over the pros and cons of different software, the Fenway Library Organization selected Preservica's Cloud Edition for consortia to preserve and safeguard content for our members. They needed a way to preserve, store, and provide access to important digital objects such as archival materials, special collections, theses and dissertations, institutional materials (such as course catalogs, images, records), and more. Preservica for consortia is a collaborative platform that will enable our members to combine requirements, resources and buying power, and work together to preserve and provide secure public access to each library’s digital assets.

Walter Stine, Executive Director, said, “We had a pent-up demand for a true active digital preservation solution, and Preservica delivers value by safeguarding the digital assets of these colleges and universities and enabling secure internal and public access. The solution is affordable and manageable, plus the Preservica package includes some records management features around compliance and retention, which help us enforce retention policies.”

Eight of the FLO member libraries are taking advantage of the Preservica Cloud Edition for consortia, including Emerson College, Emmanuel College, Framingham State University, MCPHS University, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, New England College of Optometry, New England Conservatory, and Wentworth Institute of Technology.
