KeepIt Training Resources

This is one of the resources contributing towards the development of Repository Preservation Exemplars

Not a bibliography, not formal papers, but other less conventional resources, typically less likely to be formally cited, which nevertheless reflect on or assist 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. Criteria:

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

This is currently a fairly random and unstructured collection that we expect to become more organised in time.

KeepIt themes
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
Trust, audit

DP training courses, calendar view

Note. The important links are the resources!

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?
