Peter Van Garderen is a distinguished alumni of the University of British Columbia's iSchool program and the original creator of the AtoM software. What began as a prototype for his PhD research quickly evolved into a widely deployed open-source tool that filled a critical technology gap for archival institutions around the world. Peter will recount the early days and challenges of developing AtoM, including the creation of the Archivematica digital preservation platform, and the launch of Artefactual Systems as a service business to support the software's ongoing maintenance and support. Peter has since moved on to represent the archivist's agenda in the fast-moving decentralization (a.k.a. Web3) space. He'll share his views on the current and potential future state of software that supports archival functions. See https://vangarderen.net for more background on Peter's work.
