This tool, called <a href=\"https:\/\/luc.access.preservica.com\/\">Preservica<\/a>, allows us to manage digital collections for the long run by keeping secure backups and helping us to migrate formats over time as software changes. We have completed a multi-year migration process to bring our digital collections into the new platform, which included some reorganization and updates to the collection information, so you can find even more exiting artifacts of Loyola&#8217;s past as well as Catholic and United States history. <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-14596 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/libblogs.luc.edu\/noteworthy\/files\/2019\/08\/IMG_6883-300x244.jpg\" alt=\"Cake with Welcome Preservica written on it\" width=\"211\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/libblogs.luc.edu\/noteworthy\/files\/2019\/08\/IMG_6883-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/libblogs.luc.edu\/noteworthy\/files\/2019\/08\/IMG_6883.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Thanks to some milestone years, our collections are currently expanding.
