NDSA Discusses Data Storage

Trevor Owens, digital archivist with the U.S. Library of Congress Office of Strategic Initiatives, plans to provide a report from the National Digital Stewardship Alliance Infrastructure Working Group. Data storage has been the hot topic of late and Owens says the group has started documenting NDSA member’s approaches to large scale storage for digital preservation and stewardship.

"At the Make it Work conference, the infrastructure group was happy to host “Tales from the Crypt: How are we meeting the challenges of large scale storage?,” a workshop focused on refining the preliminary results of our work on storage. During the workshop, we shared the responses of an open-ended questionnaire from eight members, who represent the diversity of the NDSA membership. During the workshop, we broke into groups to discuss how the responses from these members resonated with the workshop participants experiences with large scale storage. Discussions and commentary from the different groups was quite lively. At one point, there were 35 different individuals collaboratively editing the document!”
