SmartARC – access to your collection

SmartARC is DAMsmart’s access and management platform, designed to make it easy to find, view, and use your content. It brings together media, metadata, transcripts, and documentation in one place, allowing teams to search, review, and share material without needing to handle preservation masters directly. By separating access copies from preservation assets, SmartARC ensures your collection remains usable while protecting the integrity of the original files.

SmartSafe – trusted digital preservation

SmartSafe provides the preservation layer behind the scenes. It is designed to align with the OAIS reference model and digital preservation best practice, ensuring your content is managed in a structured, auditable, and sustainable way. Preservation workflows include fixity checking, controlled storage, structured packaging, and ongoing monitoring to ensure files remain authentic and trustworthy over time. Multiple copies of your data are maintained across separate storage locations, reducing risk and protecting against data loss, corruption, or infrastructure failure. SmartSafe supports both digitised and born-digital content, providing a consistent preservation framework regardless of how the material was created.

Designed to work together

SmartARC and SmartSafe are tightly integrated. Content preserved in SmartSafe can be surfaced through SmartARC for discovery and access, while preservation rules ensure master files remain protected. This connected approach reduces duplication, simplifies workflows, and gives organisations confidence that access today will not compromise preservation tomorrow.

Preservation without the burden

By combining SmartARC and SmartSafe, DAMsmart removes the complexity of managing access systems and preservation repositories separately. You gain a clear, structured pathway from ingest through to access and long-term care, without needing to become a digital preservation specialist yourself.
