| Abstract / Summary: |
Resource-sharing and knowledge dissemination have been the driving
forces behind late twentieth century preservation collaboration.
But with the challenge of digital preservation that emerged at the
turn of the twenty-first century, collaboration for the discovery of
new ways of doing things took on increased importance. Collaborative
projects tackled problems like developing new methodologies,
establishing standards and best practices, and developing procedures
and tools for areas such as emulation and data recovery. This article
explains the different driving forces behind collaboration for preservation
of electronic material1 and situates them within recent U.S.
preservation and library collaboration history. It then provides two
case studies of collaborative electronic preservation projects that
the author participated in. Finally, it uses the experiences of those
studies to identify a modest set of predictors for success in such
future projects. |
