Discovery Garden Is Heading to Code4Lib 2026
Code4Lib 2026
Code4Lib remains one of the most important gatherings in the library technology community. It brings together developers, repository managers, digital scholarship professionals, and archivists who are building and maintaining the infrastructure behind digital collections. The conversations are practical, technical, and grounded in real institutional challenges.
This year, we will be showcasing Aurora, our cloud-hosted instance of Islandora, at our booth.
Showcasing Aurora
Aurora was built for institutions that want the flexibility of Islandora with the stability of managed cloud infrastructure. It is designed to provide:
- Secure, modern hosting
- Structured upgrade cycles
- WCAG 2.2 AA compliance
- Predictable support and maintenance
Many of the institutions we work with are navigating modernization decisions, whether upgrading from other systems, or rethinking self-managed hosting. Aurora provides a path forward that reduces operational burden while preserving the openness and extensibility of Islandora.
At Code4Lib, we will be demonstrating how Aurora supports repository workflows, metadata modeling, accessibility, and secure cloud hosting.
Continuing the Conversation
Discovery Garden has been building and supporting Islandora-based repositories for more than fifteen years. In that time, we have worked with institutions ranging from focused digital collections to complex enterprise environments. Code4Lib is an opportunity to reconnect with the community that continues to shape this ecosystem.
If you are attending Code4Lib 2026, we would love to meet you. Stop by our booth to see a live demo of Aurora, discuss migration planning, or talk through hosting and security strategies.
If you are unable to attend but are considering repository modernization, we are always open to a conversation about your environment and goals.
We look forward to seeing many of you in Philadelphia and continuing the work of building sustainable, accessible digital infrastructure together.
