From Preservica:
Library and Archives Canada (LAC), one of the world’s largest library and archival institutions, has embarked on a large-scale, multi-stream initiative to move its extensive collection of digital records to a new digital platform to make it easier for Canadians to access published and archival records of historical and modern-day significance.
The project is one of the largest digital preservation programs initiated globally in recent years. It will see the government agency start processing more than 7 petabytes of digital records into the new digital archive.
To help in this nationally important project, LAC has selected Preservica, a global leader in active digital preservation software and Ottawa-based TeraMach, Canada’s specialist in delivering flexible on-premise and cloud-hosted technology solutions. TeraMach will support LAC in the design, installation and maintenance of the overall solution.
Terms of the multi-year agreement were not disclosed but are not material to Pivot.
