History
In 2009, The Library of Congress National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) and DuraSpace announced a joint pilot program to test the use of cloud technologies to enable perpetual access to digital content with DuraCloud.[3][4] The pilot program entered a second phase in 2010. Several open source releases of the DuraCloud software led to the public launch of the managed service on November 7, 2011.[5] DuraCloud is supported by the DuraSpace organization.[6]
DuraCloud 2.0 was released on April 17, 2012.[7]
