KeepIt Training Resources

From EPrints Documentation
Jump to: navigation, search

This is one of the resources produced by the JISC KeepIt project and contributing towards the development of Repository Preservation Exemplars.

Not a bibliography, not formal papers, this includes other less conventional resources, typically less likely to be formally cited, which nevertheless are valuable in reflecting on or assisting preservation of digital repositories, and might be used in a training programme for repository managers seeking to develop repository preservation exemplars.

Please add new items and help organise. Criteria:

  1. preservation AND repository
  2. open access: include a link that everyone can follow

This is currently a fairly random and unstructured collection. We expect it to become more organised in time, most likely based, as proposed in the KeepIt project proposal, on Berman's guidelines - plan, cost, describe (metadata), copy, store, stewardship, trust - and Rosenthal's view of the main problems - scale, costs and rights, in a view that best fits the needs of our repository preservation exemplars:
Policy, cost, management, admin.
Copy (ORE), store (inc. cloud)
Technical, formats, tools, profiles
Planning: bringing together repository management planning and technical planning
Data: PREMIS, OAIS, sig. props
Stewardship, trust, audit Rights

Another substantial collection of digital preservation training materials, mostly presentations from DPE-related conferences and training events, is the DPE registry of training materials

The National Archives appraisal policy (pdf), Version 1 August 2004

2.1.3 Appraisal supports records management because, when carried out successfully, it:

  • maintains the efficiency of departmental records management systems by limiting their contents to those records which are of continuing value, for business and archival purposes
  • ensures that records of long-term or archival value are identified so that provision can be made for their preservation.

For the next twenty years TNA will accession records predominantly in paper form

TNA traditionally assessed the archival value of records with reference both to their provenance (the organisational and functional context in which they were created) and to their content. TNA will in future make an understanding of the functions which produced public records an overt, preliminary stage in appraisal work.

See Appendix 2: appraisal values

What would an IR appraisal policy look like?
