The University of Hull is a founding partner of the Hydra Project, which seeks to combine individual repository development efforts into a collective solution: both the Hydra Project and the University are active members of the Open Repositories community. Through the AIMS project funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation the University has recently collaborated with colleagues at the Universities of Virginia, Stanford and Yale to create a framework of good practice for the stewardship of born-digital archives. The archives staff, based at the new Hull History Centre, are working closely with Library and IT staff managing the University’s Hydra Fedora-based repository to put this framework into action.
