Success story
Union Historical Archives invests in digital preservation
Deda Cloud was able to understand the client’s needs, specifically analyzing the technical requirements and combining them with open source solutions on the market, but following international standards.
Recognized as the only historical and official archives of all the institutions of the European Union, the Historical Archives of the European Union (HAEU) is where all the information researchers and citizens want to know about the Union and beyond reside, also housing more than 160 private collections of European personalities, politicians, movements and associations. Accessibility and preservation are the key words that characterize their mission; in fact, their goal is to ensure the long-term preservation of all deposited knowledge and to be a focal point for the collection of highly heterogeneous documentation across agencies and institutions.

SCENARIO
Develop a strategic repositioning project.Proposal and solution
Among the best digital preservation solutions was identified Archivematica, which is completely open source.
The listening-oriented approach was key in the initial workshop phase, where the exchange of views brought some inspirational ideas.
We were impressed by the vision on the topic and the project team’s deep knowledge of the standards, which lived up to expectations and with a special care, which was really appreciated, in the documentation drafted.
