Reed Digital Collections (RDC) plays a central role in supporting teaching and learning at Reed College. The collections include licensed and open images, digitized special collections and archives, historical photographs and documents, audio-visual materials, as well as course-specific collections developed by faculty. The College will migrate approximately 4 TB of data and 400,000 files from its home-grown system to TIND.
"Of all the different options we reviewed, we think that TIND has the best balance of support for the various types of materials we provide via RDC," said Reed College Library staff. "We’re especially excited about improved accessibility, as well as digital preservation support for theses and other unique and irreplaceable content."
Migrating to the TIND platform will allow Reed to focus on curating content and expanding services while ensuring sustainable support for faculty and student use of digital materials. The migration process will begin in August 2025, with a planned launch in summer 2026.
