The Samvera foundations' values for open data have inspired our involvement as Partners since 2016. We’ve worked with over 25 institutions to develop or support Samvera and other BlackLight-based repositories. Additionally, we are active in the development of the Hyku repository solutions and are Certified Samvera Service Providers.

Hyku is a fully featured out-of-the-box Samvera repository.Notch8 handles all of your customization, development, and hosting needs for Hyku and Hyrax, offering a range of custom implementations as well as a hosted service.

The Samvera stack was conceived as a flexible set of building blocks that could be built into a variety of repository use cases. Consequently, it often requires custom development to meet specific institutional needs. We are here to help augment your users' discovery experiences with custom Spotlight, Blacklight, and Arclight applications. This allows us to directly address the core challenges your institution faces with your digital collections.

Notch8 is passionate about our community involvement. We stay in tune with community needs by participating in interest groups, holding office hours every week in #hyku (Samvera Slack), contributing to code, and delivering conference talks.
