Legacy systems → Islandora 8
Carnegie Mellon University
Carnegie Mellon University consolidated two decades of disjointed digital archives into one browsable Islandora 8 repository — one of the largest in production, holding 2.2 million files, 30 terabytes of digitised content and 375,000 metadata records. The migration brought disparate collections into a single public system where users can 'browse nearby' related objects and full-text-search historical publications, bridging casual discovery and computational research. A flagship US example of Islandora 8 operating at enterprise scale.
