CIF Southern Section goes live on TIND Digital Archive

Los Alamitos, CA, and Oslo, Norway – September 8, 2023. TIND is pleased to announce the official launch of the digital history archive for the California Interscholastic Federation-Southern Section (CIF-SS). The platform will serve as a central repository capturing over 110 years of articles, photographs, and multimedia materials documenting the history of education-based athletics in Southern California.

The TIND DA platform was primarily selected for its user-friendly interface and robust features to facilitate content discovery by end users. CIF-SS will also leverage one of TIND's key features: a flexible submission workflow, allowing for an ever-growing and evolving digital collection. This feature ensures the CIF-SS archive will continue to be a dynamic and living resource for years to come.

Assistant Commissioner Thom Simmons expressed excitement about the future prospects of the digital archive and its significance to the CIF-SS community:

"We are simply excited to be able to share the rich history of the CIF-SS. Generations of high school athletes will now have a home to regal their success and achievements. They will be able to share this via a living, breathing data source not previously available. It is my honor and privilege to play a small role in that memory."
