In 2017, Northwestern University Libraries and the University of California San Diego Library investigated the integration of local digital repository services with distributed preservation networks, such as The Digital Preservation Network (DPN), Chronopolis, and the Academic Preservation Trust (APTrust).
This research was funded through the IMLS planning grant, “Beyond the Repository: Integrating Local Preservation Systems with National Distribution Services" LG-72-16-0135-16.
The team is very happy to announce that the final report on this project is now available at https://arch.library.northwestern.edu/concern/generic_works/00000009gand would like to thank all contributors.
