Join us for a conversation with Jack Cushman from the Harvard Law School Library Innovation Lab about their Data.gov archive – a collection of more than 311,000 datasets that is updated daily and published on Source Cooperative.

We’ll discuss:

• BagIt for durability: how Library of Congress–standard packaging, checksums, and signatures support authenticity, provenance, and long-term citation.
• Discovery without a server: how they created their Data.gov Archive Search which makes 17.9 TB of datasets findable and fast to explore in the browser without a server.
• The concept of Collections as Data and the future of online archives.
