Hoppla - Digital Preservation Support for Small Institutions

Small businesses (small office/home office, SOHO) have tremendous amounts of digital information. At the same time, they have little to no expertise on how to manage it, not to mention caring for their long-term preservation, as even simple back-up strategies pose already drastic challenges. This demo presents the Hoppla archiving system1 to provide digital preservation solutions specifically for small institutions and offices. It hides the technical complexity of digital preservation challenges by providing automated services based on established best practice examples. Appropriate preservation strategies and required tools for the collection are delivered via a web service, effectively outsourcing the required digital preservation expertise. General Terms Digital Preservation, Long Term Access, Archiving, SOHO
