About Us

The OCHRE Data Service is supported by the team of computational specialists at the Forum for Digital Culture. David Schloen (faculty director) and the staff at the Forum have a wide range of experience and skills that enable us to serve a wide variety of research projects.

We are also supported by the Digital Library Development Center (DLDC) at Regenstein Library. Charles Blair (director) and his team of technology professionals, have been providing OCHRE clients with excellent service for over twenty-five years: maintaining the OCHRE database server, regularly updating related hardware and software, backing up OCHRE data using a robust disaster-recovery protocol, providing additional data storage for external OCHRE resources such as image files, and advising on archival procedures for the curation of project data.

The OCHRE platform is the infrastructure used to support the Online Publication Service and so we also work closely with Miller Prosser (director) and his team of editors to provide the computational framework for data-rich digital publications.
