Building on Hyrax and Avalon for the American Archive of Public Broadcasting

Description:: This presentation will provide an overview of the needs of the American Archive of Public Broadcasting, challenges and successes of building a custom application based on Hyrax and Avalon, features developed both within the application and as re-usable components, and how to represent PBCore metadata in a Samvera application. The American Archive of Public Broadcasting (AAPB), founded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, is currently a joint venture between WGBH and the Library of Congress. It is a collection of digital audiovisual content created for public media distribution, requiring an adaptable technical infrastructure that can support close collaborations with organizations of varying technical and institutional capacity. The critical component for this is the Archival Management System (AMS), the entry point through which contributors’ descriptive, technical, and preservation metadata is ingested into the AAPB collection and where all metadata is managed and improved through cataloging by AAPB staff and interns. With plans of moving to a new system, hopefully one with a more active opensource community around it, the AAPB determined that the best path forward was to build the tool on Avalon and within the Samvera community. In 2017, the AAPB was awarded a grant by the Mellon Foundation to do just this, and the AMS 2.0 development project began in December of 2017 and is slated for completion by the beginning of 2019. AAPB is working with AVP and Indiana University as part of the development team. At the same time the project was starting, Avalon made the decision to move to Hyrax for Avalon 7. That changed the starting point and scope for the AMS 2.0 development plan, which is now to build a custom application on a Hyrax base creating features in tandem with the Avalon team.

My Life In DevOps, Two years of roaming the AWS landscape

Description:: Over the past two years, Northwestern University Libraries has moved its repository infrastructure and applications to Amazon Web Services. Our initial solution, presented at Samvera Connect 2017, involved AWS CloudFormation, several different deployment platforms, and a lot of manual intervention. In our second phase, we have adopted a fully automated build/configure/deploy system to stand up Fedora, Solr, PostgreSQL, Redis, a Cantaloupe IIIF server, an Avalon Media System instance, a secure CloudFront streaming media distribution, and two Hyrax applications using Terraform, Docker, AWS Elastic Beanstalk, and a whole bunch of homegrown tools and hacks. This presentation will provide an overview of our current system, and hopefully jumpstart some discussions of how these tools can be adopted, standardized, and reused among other members of the Samvera community.

Archiving Hull City of Culture: linking Hyrax and Archivematica

Description:: This talk will present a project at the University of Hull, working with CoSector and Cottage Labs, to create a permanent digital archive of the Hull City of Culture. Hull was awarded UK City of Culture for 2017 and, throughout the year, generated a wealth of digital material documenting the events and activities celebrating the city, as well as archives from the organization and evaluation of the event. The University of Hull, already an active user of Samvera technologies, wanted to build on the work done for the Jisc ‘Filling the Digital Preservation Gap’ by using Archivematica for the digital archives preservation pipeline and Hyrax as a showcase for the City of Culture. We will also talk about how the project was originally conceived, and how that has changed through active and engaged project meetings to reflect ongoing service needs for the management of digital archives, of which the City of Culture archive forms a part. Integration with CALM (archives management solution ) and the existing Hull History Centre Blacklight catalogue (developed by DCE) is being explored to create a fully integrated digital archiving solution.
