Shout-out for Trevor Thornton

Trevor Thornton

I was thrilled when Trevor recently moved the second version of Digital Assets of Enduring Value (DAEV) into production. Over the years, full-time and student staff in the Special Collections Research Center (SCRC) have relied on DAEV, a web application that helps us process born-digital materials. While planning and development for version two had begun before I joined SCRC, I appreciate how Trevor always took the time to help me understand how the application works. During the testing phase, he was always responsive to fix things, even when I knew he was working on other SCRC applications. The new DAEV is integrated with ArchivesSpace and our preservation system, automating more processes and making our work more efficient. Trevor is a pleasure to work with, whether that’s over Trello, email, or Zoom. Thank you Trevor!
