EQUIPMENT FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE APOLLO THEATER'S DIGITAL ARCHIVES [THIS GRANT WOULD SUPPORT THE PURCHASE OF DIGITAL STORAGE DEVICES NECESSITATED BY THE RECENT UNPRECEDENTED GROWTH OF THE APOLLO THEATER DIGITAL ARCHIVES, WHICH WAS ESTABLISHED JUST FIVE YEARS AGO. THE ORGANIZATION ANTICIPATES A LARGE VOLUME OF NEWLY DIGITIZED MATERIALS TO BE DELIVERED TO THE THEATER OVER THE NEXT YEAR, WHICH WOULD OVERWHELM THE THEATER'S CURRENT ON-SITE STORAGE SERVER CAPACITY, PREVENTING THE ADEQUATE EXECUTION OF ITS DIGITAL PRESERVATION STRATEGY. WITH NEH GRANT FUNDS, THE APOLLO WILL BE ABLE TO ADD 64 TERABYTES OF ADDITIONAL LOCAL STORAGE TO BOTH THE ARCHIVES STORAGE SERVER AND THE DATABASE SERVER. THE MATERIALS THAT COMPRISE THE APOLLO'S COLLECTION ARE IN ACTIVE DAILY USE BY SEVERAL INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL STAKEHOLDERS. THE ADDITION OF THIS DIGITAL STORAGE WILL GREATLY INCREASE THE SPEED AT WHICH ARCHIVED MATERIALS CAN BE ACCESSED.]
