Ashton Wingate, Senior Manager of Digital Archives at the Legal Defense Fund (LDF), along with Durable Digital’s Managing Partner, Peter Gassiraro, gave an encore presentation of the Legal Defense Fund archives case study, "Safeguarding Civil Rights History," at the 89th Annual Meeting of the Society of American Archivists in Anaheim, California.
The presentation focused on highlights from the solution the teams have developed using Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Preservica, first introduced at the 2025 North America Preservica User Group conference earlier this year.
The SAA session on Monday, August 25th focused on the groundbreaking Dynamics 365 aspects of the solution and how it securely manages LDF’s paper-to-digital records, worflows and metadata, with ongoing development to support born-digital records, enhanced workflows, reporting and audit trails. With this work, Durable and LDF are setting the future standard for sustainable archives in the sector.
