Leeds University Library is delighted to announce the launch of the Sustainable PReservation Using Community Engagement (SPRUCE) project. SPRUCE will inspire, guide, support and enable HE, FE and cultural institutions to address digital preservation gaps; and to use the knowledge gathered from that activity to articulate a compelling business case for digital preservation.
The SCAlable Preservation Environments (SCAPE) project is co-funded by the European Commission under FP7 and led by the Austrian Institute of Technology. The OPF joins experts from memory instititions, data centres, research labs, universities, and industrial firms in researching and developing scalable preservation systems. SCAPE will develop infrastructure and tools for scalable preservation actions; by providing a framework for automated, quality-assured preservation workflows and by integrating these components with a policy-based preservation planning and watch system.
