Libraries Tasmania Selects Preservica to Safeguard Public Access to Archives Collections

  • Preservica’s Digital Preservation Framework Will Manage Digital Collections in Excess of 150TB to Ensure Long-Term Storage of Digital Archives

Preservica, a global leader in Active Digital Preservation software, has partnered with Libraries Tasmania in a multi-year contract to accept, preserve, and store digital government and non-government records as archives.

The ability to efficiently or effectively manage the 150TB’s of digital collections manually has become difficult, placing Libraries Tasmania at risk of not meeting required standards to ensure the ongoing preservation and accessibility of its digital cultural collections.

Preservica worked with local partner Document Management Tasmania (DMTAS) on the formal tender and procurement process. The digital preservation service will be hosted on AWS Asia Pacific (Sydney) region.

The Tasmanian Archives holds hundreds of thousands of items of significant historical and cultural value, in various formats, that are actively degrading. These contain content unique and integral to Tasmanian history and must adhere to industry standards and compliance requirements to support business processes for the secure capture, storage, management, identification, access, delivery and long-term preservation of its digital collections.

“Our commitment is to preserve the continuing memory of Tasmania as the lead provider of history, research, and information services,” said Allegra Huxtable, Manager Government Archives & Preservation at Libraries Tasmania, Department of Education. “We are thrilled to partner with Preservica to preserve archives and heritage items to fulfill our legislated role as the keeper of Tasmania’s memory, and generate opportunities for lifelong learning, and cultural inspiration available to anyone around the world.”

The digital preservation system will form part of the State Library and Tasmanian Archives infrastructure that will support the receipt of transfers from Tasmanian State Government Agencies and non-government organizations’ of digital records in all forms, including digitized versions of hardcopy records as well as unstructured and structured born-digital records.

This also includes published digital assets acquired through legal deposit or purchase (where these items are not suitable for inclusion on the National E-Deposit System).

Public access to the Tasmanian Archives collections includes government records, private records, and cultural heritage items in a large number of formats including hard copy documentary items, physical items and their digital surrogates (digitized versions), audio recordings (including analog and born-digital), Film and Video (including analog and born-digital), maps, newspapers, and photographs.

Online access to digital materials has become increasingly important for many Australian government, academic, cultural and commercial organizations. Libraries Tasmania is part of a growing community of institutions using Preservica in the region including The National Archives of Australia (NAA), The National Library of Australia (NLA), the State Library of South Australia (SLSA), Moore College and many other government, cultural, and academic institutions.

We are delighted that Libraries Tasmania is part of a growing number of customers in our user community in Australia,” said Mike Quinn, CEO Preservica. “Preservica’s preservation system is a key part of the total environment needed to provide their digital collections with the best chance of long-term survival.”

Preservica’s digital preservation and discovery solution, Starter edition is providing multi-sized archives across the region with an easy, locally hosted way to preserve important records and showcase digital collections that document Australia’s rich history, ensuring content is kept safe and usable over decades are all automatically taken care of.
