BHL’s core technical infrastructure will be hosted by the Field Museum, one of BHL’s long-standing partner institutions.
As part of the transition, the Field Museum has taken on responsibility for hosting BHL’s infrastructure, ensuring the continued operation, security, and reliability of the BHL website, APIs, and associated services. This arrangement provides continuity for users while strengthening BHL’s long-term technical resilience.
This hosting model reflects BHL’s move toward a more distributed, partner-supported infrastructure, reducing reliance on any single institution and aligning with best practices for sustainability in global digital research infrastructure.
