Library, archive and museum collection managers are invited to join us at the Hydra Europe Symposium and find out more about how Hydra can support your digital content management needs. The event will provide an overview of the Hydra Project and how it is being used to support the management of varied digital collections within organisations across Europe and the US. The Symposium is also being run in tandem with a technical Hydra Camp for colleagues who wish to learn about the technology in greater detail to realise local solutions.

Hydra (http://projecthydra.org) is an open source repository solution framework that is focused on enabling flexible repository solutions that address the specific needs of different types of content and the collections they sit within. Use cases include institutional repositories and solutions for media, digital archives, geo-data, and data. The Hydra Project is developing a series of ‘Hydra head’ solution bundles that can be adopted, but is also geared toward enabling development of local ‘heads’ to support specific needs. All activity is based on working together as a community to enable local solutions.

The Hydra Europe Symposium will provide a full introduction to Hydra and how the technology and community work in tandem. Come and learn more in Dublin!
