Jewish Women's Archive & "Bella"

(after Bella Abzug, she of the "big fedoras")

Here is a paper presented at Museums on the Web, spring 2009, Indianapolis, IN, USA, by Ari Davidow:

"At last fall's MCN conference, and again at Museums on the Web this spring, I spoke about work that the Jewish Women's Archive is doing to set up its own repository using open source software. The basic repository we built uses Fedora with the lightest interface imaginable (ActiveFedora). It is hosted by Amazon's Web Services, the least expensive hosting option we could conceive. It has worked well for us so far, although we are really ready to figure out the next steps." [from a blog post on Musematic.net ]
