U of T’s information security awareness and education initiative.
The UTM Safe Travels Pilot Program was developed to help U of T faculty and staff safeguard U of T data when traveling abroad. The pilot program includes a pre-travel security consultation and laptop loan program.
U of T Dataverse is a multi-disciplinary repository open to U of T researchers to deposit and share research data. It can also be used to discover and reuse data produced by other researchers. Deposited datasets receive DOIs. Files are held in a secure environment on Canadian servers.
FADIS is an art and architecture repository and teaching tool consisting of over 250,000 digital images, videos and audio files with accompanying metadata for private study and research.
The University of Toronto Libraries’ MyMedia offers an archival storage and streaming solution for media content. Use MyMedia to upload a wide array of video and audio file formats and manage and share your media. All media files are re-encoded into a standard format for web playback.
Microsoft OneDrive is a secure, personal, cloud-based document management and file storage application, with sharing capabilities that include editing.
Academic researchers can request a modest amount of storage for research data at no cost. Resources are available through ‘opportunistic use’, i.e., a shared pool of unallocated resources.
Compute Canada deploys state-of-the-art advanced research computing systems and storage, and provides support for large-scale, data-intensive research projects. Compute Canada provides support to researchers in the Humanities and Social Sciences that includes robust storage solutions.
Tableau Desktop is a commercial program used to create data visualizations and interactive dashboards. Researchers at U of T can get a free 1-year license for non-commercial academic research or teaching.
Microsoft SharePoint Online is a secure cloud-based platform that enables groups to collaborate, share, store, and publish documents or web content.
Microsoft Stream is a secure video service that allows you to share recordings of classes, meetings, presentations, training sessions and related videos. With Stream, users can access their videos on multiple devices from any location and deliver both live and on-demand videos to curated audiences.

This information video describes the use of data repositories for long-term storage and sharing of research data. The video discusses U of T Dataverse and TSpace and provides resources for identifying external repositories.
FRDR is a platform for digital Research Data Management (RDM) and a robust repository option into which large research datasets can be ingested, curated, processed for preservation, discovered, cited, and shared.
Re3data is a global registry of research data repositories that covers research data repositories from different academic disciplines. It includes repositories that enable permanent storage of and access to data sets to researchers, funding bodies, publishers, and scholarly institutions.
This information video introduces digital research preservation in the context of the research data lifecycle and describes institution-wide digital preservation resources available at U of T.
GitHub is a website offering storage and collaboration tools for software development, based on the version control system Git. Commonly used to host opensource software, it can also be used to host datasets.
