Birds of a Feather: Archivematica

In this one hour Birds of a Feather session, we will discuss new and upcoming developments to Archivematica, the open-source digital preservation software platform. We will discuss features of the 1.5 Archivematica release, features of the upcoming 1.6 release, and give an update on the Archivematica community including new and novel workflows being deployed by our community of users. Following general discussion of Archivematica updates, we will discuss a proposal to form an Archivematica User Group for Texas. Informal user groups exist in other geographical areas. Anyone is welcome to attend and contribute ideas for how Archivematica users, and those interested in becoming Archivematica users, can connect in between TCDL conferences. This session is appropriate for anyone who is interested in Archivematica- no experience with the software is necessary. Drew Krewer, of University of Houston, will co-host this session.
