Repository preservation exemplars
These exemplar repositories all use EPrints and manage a wide range of content types - science data, arts, teaching and learning, as well as open access research papers - that might be found in the typical institutional repository of the future. See KeepIt project
- KeepIt training resources
- KeepIt bibliography
