Practical preservation with Arkivum & Eprints

Presentation at Open Repositories 2014, Helsinki, Finland, June 9-13, 2014

EPrints Interest Group Presentations

The Academic & Research Technologies team at the University of London Computer Centre hosts and supports almost 20 EPrints repositories (and counting) for a variety of institutions and a broad range of content. The ART team also have a depth of experience consulting on preservation issues, running the Digital Preservation Training Programme and managing digital preservation projects. Arkivum provides a large scale digital storage service that is flexible and cost effective. It ticks many preservation boxes and it plugs in to an EPrints repository. We will talk about our teams efforts to achieve comprehensive digital preservation involving the two technologies.
