Arctic World Archive invites you to deposit your most valuable data in our digital vault at Svalbard.
Please note that you are not required to travel to Svalbard in order to deposit your data. We are happy to perform the deposit on your behalf if you wish.
Our experience tells us that every organisation has specific requirements for their data storage. Book time with us today to discuss your needs.
Welcome to the AWA Deposit registration page
Here you have the option to register to either the virtual or physical deposit ceremony.
For those that are able physically attend, you can also find some practical information and links to book accommodation.
Are you unable to travel to Svalbard, but would still like to deposit your valuable data in AWA?
Not to worry!
Join us online and see your data being deposited and
secured inside the mountain vault.
You can also choose to join us at a future ceremony
(when travel restrictions lift) and experience the
process first hand.
Do you want to join us in Svalbard and carry your valuable data into AWA yourself?
Wonderful, we look forward to making this a unique
experience for you!
Below you can find some practical information that will
help you to facilitate and plan for your coming travels.
