DH project multi-sitesThe Project for the Study of Dissidence and Samizdat is a repository of Soviet Samizdat Periodicals. It is currently under development by U of T faculty member, Ann Komaromi. The Collections U of T service ena-bled our department to provide repository services for the project. It is now sustainably preserved through the Collections U of T digital curation life cycle. Development of DH assets, such as an interactive timeline, are made possible for the project through the use of Drupal and Islandora tools.

Library multi-sitesCollections U of T allows us to leverage one repository to build multi-sites for library digital collections, such as the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library and the Canadian Necrology sites, as well as DH research projects. Drupal multi-sites allow our department to re-use Drupal themeing work, such as the U of T branded theme displayed on the Fisher site and edited for use on the Canadian Necrology site.http://necrology.library.utoronto.ca/http://fishercollections.library.utoronto.ca/
