Abstract

An electronic item management and archival system for managing and archiving items. Each item includes at least one of image data, audio data, and video data. The system includes a server configured to receive items, archive at least one of the received items to an archive, and retrieve at least one of the archived items from the archive. In some embodiments, the server also includes architecture that supports a pool of threads promoting multiple, independent archive and retrieve operations concurrently.
