Abstract

At a basic level, virtualization [1] is the use of a host computer or server’s resources to run other computing environments. There are many ways in which virtualized computing environments may be deployed and interacted with, including using software to virtualize additional desktops on a local computer (e.g., VirtualBox, Hyper-V Manager, or VMWare) or accessing virtual command line interfaces hosted by a server or computer cluster [2],[3], and emulating old video game systems on contemporary hardware [4]. In this paper we discuss a cross-institutional collaboration on using containerization and desktop virtualization in digital curation at academic special collections libraries.
