This discussion is a continuation of a blog post meant to aid those looking to migrate content from Islandora 7 based repositories into Preservica. The first part can be found here: While the first blog post dealt with exporting content from Islandora and preparing it for ingest into Preservica, this post describes a different, butContinue reading "Migrating from Islandora to Preservica, Part 2"
27.9.2024 15:58Migrating from Islandora to Preservica, Part 2Over two years ago, just after I started my current position at the University of Rochester as the person responsible for digital preservation, I wrote a blog post about my strategy for migrating digital assets from our legacy Islandora 7 instances into our new Preservica instance. However I was talking about our migration experience recentlyContinue reading "Migrating from Islandora to Preservica, Part 1"
13.9.2024 21:12Migrating from Islandora to Preservica, Part 1Forecasting storage needs for digital preservation is key to growing a digital preservation service sustainably over time, to ensure there is enough available space to meet current needs and to efficiently request increases to that space for the future. One method to help with this forecasting work is to use existing collections as data thatContinue reading "Generating Statistics on Files in Preservica"
15.8.2024 20:51Generating Statistics on Files in PreservicaThe valley was an ideal spot to found a settlement. Ringed by ancient mountains worn down by untold seasons with gentle slopes covered in lush forests. The area teemed with life, the air thick with moisture; from the rushing rivers that wended their way among the bases of the mountains and the fog that seemedContinue reading "Vignette 8: Steps into Fog"
27.5.2024 17:48Vignette 8: Steps into FogMy institution is in the processing of migrating from Drupal 7 based Islandora to a combination of platforms including Preservica. In Islandora we had present some time-based media that included an MP3 or MP4 that was synced with a scrolling transcript. Reproducing this experience in Preservica proved to be something of a challenge. Preservica canContinue reading "Converting Subtitles for Preservica"
24.4.2024 17:11Converting Subtitles for PreservicaI’m often fond of saying that one of the things that we all need to be doing as professionals in the GLAM sphere is to pull one another up the ladder. I’m generally a firm believer in the idea that “no one is guaranteed to advocate for you but you,” but we as professionals areContinue reading "On Professional Service and Thank You Notes"
11.4.2024 19:46On Professional Service and Thank You NotesIt was probably never the best idea to settle on the slopes of a volcano, though the former residents of this heat-blasted settlement would never admit such a thing. The peril reached an apex when the volcano in question played host to a dramatic multidimensional boundary to the elemental plane of fire. One of theContinue reading "Vignette 7: Heat & Spectres"
25.2.2024 21:09Vignette 7: Heat & SpectresTo prevent myself from procrastinating while writing a presentation I’ve created a stock PowerPoint deck that I use over and over again. This way I don’t decide I need to play with the theme for several hours and instead force myself to do the actual work of writing the thing. It’s full of images fromContinue reading "MeowerPoint Presentation Template"

By this I don’t mean it will teach you howContinue reading "The Art and Science of Speaking (into Microphones) at Conferences"
4.2.2024 20:12The Art and Science of Speaking (into Microphones) at ConferencesThis post is adapted from an email that I sent to a couple of scholars that I was helping to think through starting a new digital humanities project. I thought it could pose a useful write-up to send to any researchers interested in standing up a new digital project who may not have the bestContinue reading "Creating Sustainable Digital Projects"
