    - Danielle gave us an update from her meeting with ARTstor. Shared Shelf 1.2 should be released sometime in March. In April, KVRC database should be moved from Pictor to Shared Shelf.
    - Shared Shelf API and IIIF development – this will give us better access to image databases.
    - We pay to ARTstor for storage usage, right now we have 1.3 TB, 1.5 TB will be different higher rate. Hannah and Mira will work to replace Archivision tiff images with jpegs to free up some storage
    - ARTstor doesn’t allow to download tiff images. RMC needs to be able to download tiffs
    - MacDougall collection – metadata is migrated to SS, we need to upload jpegs.
