The development of an open-source digital asset management system to facilitate preservation of and access to humanities collections of digital sound recordings and moving images.

Indiana University Libraries and the WGBH Media Library and Archives propose to extend the HydraDAM digital asset management system to be able to serve as a digital preservation repository for time-based media collections at a wide range of institutions using multiple storage strategies. This new system will be based on the open source Hydra repository application framework and will utilize the emerging Fedora 4.0 digital repository architecture.
