Synopsis

Archidora is a module that integrates the digital preservation functionality of Archivematica with Islandora. It was developed by Artefactual Systems and Discovery Garden, sponsored by the University of Saskatchewan Library.

User story

The goal of the Archidora module is to allow Islandora users to seamlessly preserve content that is ingested into Islandora using Archivematica's suite of digital preservation micro-services, creating preservation copies of that content for long-term storage. The Islandora user ingesting the content should not be required to mediate the transfer to Archivematica in any way. Upon completion of the transfer and ingest into Archivematica, a notification is sent back to Islandora indicating that the storage was successful.

Status

The Archidora module was developed in 2014 and has been deployed at the University of Saskatchewan Library since 2015. Testing is ongoing.

The code is currently held on Github by the Islandora Foundation, but is not being actively maintained.

Scope
