TIND DA is now home to FSU’s digital collections, including photographs, manuscripts, digitized theses and dissertations, and current university publications, alongside contributions from the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art Archives and the Warren D. Allen Music Library.
“Easier to navigate and more streamlined than ever, TIND DA is a one-stop-shop for rare and unique materials. Users can explore millions of materials, including historic photos and videos of FSU’s history, rare books, newspapers, historic papers, maps, and more at the tip of their fingers!”
— Florida State University.
Scrapbooks and documents, held in both handwritten and typed versions, are now presented as compound objects that can be browsed as a single item. The university is also running OCR on its print titles, including its historical Italian-language newspaper, to make them full-text searchable.
With TIND hosting and maintaining the platform, the FSU’s team can put its time into the collections rather than the infrastructure. Using the new TIND CMS feature, the team has built branded pages for many of its public collections, giving each its own look and a modern, user-friendly way for faculty, students, and the public to explore them.
The university expects to add up to 50 TB of new material a year, making its digital collection one of the largest hosted on TIND. It is the third major university in Florida to choose TIND, including Florida International University and the University of Florida.
Florida State University is one of the top public research universities in the US. Located in Tallahassee, Florida, it serves more than 46,000 students from all 50 US states and over 130 countries. Find out more at: www.fsu.edu
