Rhizome Communications, Inc.

Rhizome, an international born-digital art organization, in partnership with Yale University and the University of Freiburg, will enhance a set of software tools connecting archives of digital artifacts and emulation frameworks. The project will greatly increase the viability of emulation as a preservation strategy by making environments of legacy software manageable for collection managers. This proposed project responds to the disparity between the proven viability of emulation as a digital preservation strategy and the practical needs of collection managers.
