Hydra Connect 2016 was hosted by the Boston Public Library, Northeastern University, WGBH, DPLA, and Tufts University. More than 260 people from some 70 different institutions attended the event held at the Boston Public Library.
Samvera Connect 2017 was held at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, hosted by Northwestern University partnering with University of Michigan Libraries. The conference attracted nearly 200 people from over 90 institutions who led, presented and attended some 70 different workshops, presentations and breakouts. The program details for this conference have disappeared from the web although the slide decks and posters survived. The descriptions of the works here have been gleaned from the proposals made to the conference Program Committee.
Since its inception in 2008, Samvera (previously the Hydra Project) has had a number of logos, both for the Community itself and for its various initiatives. Most of these logos have had a serious purpose, some have been more flippant. Most of them have, at one time or another, been available on our sought-after hex stickers. We've tried to gather them here and provide some context for each. We've also tried to track down some of the marketing materials and artifacts they were used on. Each year we commission a new design for our conference t-shirt. You'll also find a record of those here!
