Overview

Dutch developed a publishing and distribution platform for Harvard-Westlake designed to honor the school’s history while making it accessible across both physical and digital environments.

The system surfaces thousands of media objects, including archival footage, photography, and historical materials, curated and structured for public consumption. Content is distributed across interactive installations throughout the campus, as well as through an online portal, creating a continuous connection between place and platform.

At its core, the platform operates as a single source of truth, allowing content to be published once and distributed across multiple endpoints. This ensures consistency, scalability, and efficiency while supporting a wide range of use cases, from on-campus storytelling to remote exploration.

Performance and reliability were critical. The system was engineered for near-zero latency distribution, ensuring seamless access to media across devices and locations. Strong security layers, content validation workflows, and API-driven architecture ensured that all content remained protected, accurate, and easy to manage.

The result is a living archive that not only preserves institutional history, but actively engages audiences through accessible, interactive storytelling.
