We are now suggesting a new approach based on The Archeios DIY method.  The key advantages of this method are Flexibility and Cost Management.

Flexibility:

The workflow is designed to accommodate your organization’s schedule and availability, allowing you to work around your own timing rather than adhering to rigid external deadlines. This flexibility empowers organizations to integrate the archiving process seamlessly into their existing operations without significant disruption.

Cost Management:

Cost management is another critical feature of this approach. Instead of relying heavily on external vendors or costly professional services, the method emphasizes leveraging internal human resources to perform much of the labor-intensive work. In-house employees, work-study students, or members of local fraternal or sorority organizations can be engaged to handle the bulk of the physical tasks involved in the archiving process. By shifting labor costs internally and utilizing low-cost personnel, organizations can significantly reduce expenses and gain greater control over their budgets. This approach not only makes the project more affordable but also fosters engagement and skill development within the local community or institution.
