Lots of pictures floating in the air.

Rosetta

Ex Libris' Rosetta is the digital preservation application used by our digital repository, the National Digital Heritage Archive (NDHA). Rosetta is the core of the NDHA's digital preservation infrastructure.

Custom tools and scripts

Find out about some supporting tools and scripts we have created to help us with our digital preservation including a tool for creating short MARC records and a python script to move files.

Our vintage computers
