Standards-Based
Compliance
Built on the bedrock of OAIS, IIIF, and ISO trusted repository standards. We don't just host software; we uphold the integrity of your records.
The Standards We Live By
In the digital age, compliance isn't just a checkbox—it's the guarantee that your history will survive. We align our infrastructure with the most rigorous international standards for digital preservation and access.
IIIF (International Image Interoperability Framework)
Status: Fully Compliant
We provide enterprise-grade IIIF-compliant archival hosting using high-performance servers like Cantaloupe. Our infrastructure supports:
- Image API 3.0: Deep zoom, dynamic resizing, and rotation on the fly.
- Presentation API 3.0: Rich metadata and complex object modeling (manifests).
- Change Discovery API: For harvesting and synchronization.

OAIS (ISO 14721)
Status: Aligned via Archivematica
Our preservation pipelines are designed around the OAIS reference model. We implement OAIS-aligned digital preservation workflows ensuring:
- Ingest (SIP): Virus scanning, format identification (FIDO), and validation.
- Storage (AIP): BagIt-compliant packaging with checksum verification.
- Access (DIP): Derivative generation for public viewing.
