*Open Source Preservation Solution—Run Archivematica 1.3.0 Locally or in
DuraCloud*

*Archivematica 1.3.0 Features Full DuraCloud Integration*

*Winchester, MA*  Artefactual has announced the release of Archivematica
1.3.0 with full DuraCloud integration. Archivematica is an open source
digital preservation system with a web-based dashboard for ingesting
digital holdings and generating Archival Information Packages (AIPs).
DuraCloud is an open source cloud­-based archiving and preservation service
platform that manages and preserves digital objects in secure, replicated
storage. Archivematica 1.3.0 now features the ability to configure the
storage option to deposit AIPs into DuraCloud archival cloud storage via
the web-based dashboard. Institutions and organizations may now choose to
implement the Archivematica open source preservation stack in-house, or to
take advantage of the DuraCloud hosted service for long-term secure
archival storage directly from their hosted Archivematica dashboard.

Archivematica 1.3.0 is production-ready and now available for download
here: https://www.archivematica.org/wiki/Installation

The key new feature in the Archivematica 1.3.0 release is the ability to
manage all storage functionality in DuraCloud, specifically:

•Ability to store Archival Information Packages (AIPs) in DuraCloud

•Ability to store Dissemination Information Packages (DIPs) in DuraCloud

•Ability to synchronize a local copy with a remote copy in DuraCloud

“Working with Artefactual to integrate our two software platforms means
that if you use Archivematica locally, you can now upload content into your
DuraCloud account,” explained DuraSpace CEO Michele Kimpton, “or add the
open source software to your in-house technology stack. Either way it
provides Institutions with a complete end to end open source solution.”

Evelyn McLellan, President of Artefactual systems: “Having both local and
cloud-based storage options available to Archivematica users helps us to
offer our communities additional ways to preserve and protect their digital
holdings.”
