Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCliff Landis is a digital curation archivist with a decade of experience designing and operating born-digital archives, metadata schemas, and preservation workflows for research institutions and enterprise organizations. He currently leads Georgia Tech’s University Archives and Special Collections Repository Service, serving as product owner for core systems like ArchivesSpace and Archivematica while co-leading the campus digital repository. Cliff blends hands-on digitization and DAM management with policy, taxonomy, and user-centered service design—skills honed across academic libraries and a corporate metadata role at IHG. He writes, speaks, and teaches about linked data, archival technology, and the co-evolution of people and information, arguing that access is central to ethically responsible archiving. Known for mentoring staff and coordinating cross-team technical implementations, he pairs practical preservation practice with a broad humanistic perspective rooted in information science and philosophy. Based in Georgia, he brings a rare mix of systems-level product stewardship and an archivist’s insistence on accessibility over “glorified hoarding.”
