The Data Conservancy is a growing community promoting data preservation and re-use across disciplines with tools and services.
The Data Conservancy Instance (DC Instance) is an implementation of both technical tools and organizational services for data collection, curation, management, storage, preservation, and sharing.

JHU Data Management Services
The JHU Data Management Services (JHU DMS), offered by the Sheridan Libraries, helps researchers develop data management plans and both preserve and share research data. JHU DMS, uses an instance of the Data Conservancy (DC) stack to provide a state-of-the-art digital archive for both short-term and long-term data archiving.

National Snow and Ice Data Center
An instance of the Data Conservancy (DC) will be installed at the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado. NSIDC plans to test the instance for managing and archiving diverse data and information held by the Exchange for Local Observations and Knowledge of the Arctic (ELOKA). The University Libraries and Research Computing Center will also explore using the DC instance as a part of a larger data management effort for the whole university.
