This session will be a brief introduction to the Hydra community, and a 35,000ft view of Hydra technically. It is an opportunity for people new to Hydra to get some context around what we are about and, hence, the rest of the conference! and An introductory presentation at Hydra Connect 2016, described thus
In the UK, the Universities of York and Hull are looking at Archivematica's place in a research data pipeline. The two universities have slightly different use cases but share the desire to put research (and likely other) content through Archivematica on its way to the repository thus giving us a solid base for long-term preservation. We are both now in the third phase of a joint project to build proof-of-concepts to illustrate how Hydra and Archivematica can work together to manage and preserve research data. Since our project began, Jisc have launched an ambitious UK national research data shared service where a range of suppliers offer systems in different lots. Both Hydra / Fedora and Islandora / Fedora are part of the the ‘research repository’ lot of the service and the work of York and Hull has heavily informed the ‘preservation’ lot, with Archivematica one of the systems on offer. This presentation will describe the proof-of-concept work done by Hull and York, and will provide an overview of the new Jisc service. An audio recording of the session is available for download below. and A presentation at Hydra Connect 2016 described thus

The keynote address at the Hydra Connect 2016 conference advertised thus and This presentation aims to present opportunities for collaboration between current Hydra members and The Daniel Cosío Villegas library at El Colegio de México (COLMEX) as well as other Mexican institutions that are interested in making a Mexican-based Hydra users group. COLMEX has been actively planning the implementation of a Hydra-based repository. Given that COLMEX has a significant presence in various digital libraries and repositories interest groups in Mexico, we have taken the opportunity promote Hydra as an alternative, not only with the hopes of promoting the project but to find local partners that might be interested in collaborating. We hope that we might find international partners who will help to spur initiatives through various means of evangelizing, helping support efforts, and perhaps coming down to Mexico to visit. In this manner we can help Hydra become a truly global initiative and one which considers north-south collaborations especially those outside the English-speaking world.
