Data Storage

Haverford offers unlimited, cloud-based storage using Box, a content management platform.  Box offers synchronization apps and collaboration features.  It is also HIPAA-compliant.  Box is an excellent option for storing data that you wish to keep private or share only with a small set of colleagues.


If you have data you'd like to share with the broader scholarly community, a number of free repositories exist.  Some of these are subject-specific, while a few are domain neutral.  The ability to assign metadata to your data vary widely across these platforms, a factor to consider if discovery of your data is of particular importance to you.
