2. futureArch & BEAM is theproject to establish the BEAMservice for 3 years(since Sept 2008) The goal: to enable the Bodleian Library to continue to develop and deliver archival andmanuscript collections as the format of such material changes* *which is to saybecomesdigital five staff:

• Project Manager/Digital Archivist

Bodleian's Digital Asset Management System

37. Two sites / two servers 38. Different storage technology

One a self-healing file system, one tried and tested

Must be local 39. Big & shiny but its still just a file system

So anyone can do it!

Open source where possible

42. Open standards where appropriate 43. Shortest path to stabilisation 44. Protect the original, transform late 45. Tool building principles

Modules not monoliths!
