non zero chance there was a directive to outsource archival hosting/services. a strategy of austerity and neoliberalism is for decision makers to force public institutions to form “public-private” partnerships or generally contract out services to the private sector rather than even consider doing the work in-house. in this way, the public institution evolves into a pass-through organization where public resources go right back into profit-maximizing rent-seekers.
