- ARKive preserves film, video, audio and photographic media on endangered species. * National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP), run by The Library of Congress, is dedicated to ensuring that the digital information that conveys our history and heritage is available and accessible for generations to come. As a pioneer in the field of digital information, the Library has continued to provide digitized access to its vast collections. * Portico, a not-for-profit organization originally launched by JSTOR in 2002, is a digital preservation service which provides "a permanent archive of electronic scholarly journals and books". Additional support for Portico is provided by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Ithaka, and the US Library of Congress. * FDsys (Federal Digital System) is a system being developed by the United States Government Printing Office to authenticate, preserve, and provide access to government information from all three branches of the Federal government. * Elsevier Science digital archive. In 2002, the Koninklijke Bibliotheek became the official digital archive for 7 terabytes of Elsevier Science journals. * LOCKSS (Lots Of Copies Keep Stuff Safe), under the auspices of Stanford University, develops and supports open-source software for digital preservation based on a distributed network of preservation appliances running a sophisticated voting protocol. Originally designed to preserve scholarly journals, the LOCKSS technology is now being used to preserve electronic theses and dissertations, government documents, books, blogs, websites, image collections, etc. The LOCKSS Program also runs its own preservation network. MetaArchive Project Six universities and the Library of Congress are developing "a cooperative for the preservation of at-risk digital content [about] the culture and history of the American South" in a private LOCKSS network. Alabama Digital Preservation Network (ADPNet) In 2006, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) awarded a two-year National Leadership Grant to the Network of Alabama Academic Libraries (NAAL) and seven Alabama institutions to build a low-cost distributed digital preservation network for the state. The resulting system, ADPNet, is a private LOCKSS network; its mission is to preserve digital content created by cultural heritage organizations in Alabama and to serve as a model for digital preservation networks in other states. The participating institutions are the Alabama Department of Archives & History, Auburn University, Spring Hill College, Troy University, the University of Alabama, the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the University of North Alabama. ASERL ETDs Eight universities of the Association of Southeastern Research Libraries are preserving each other's collections of electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs) in a private LOCKSS network. GPO LOCKSS Pilot The Government Printing Office conducted a pilot program to "manage, disseminate, and preserve access to Web-based Federal Government e-journals that are within the scope of the FDLP and IES" (Federal Depository Library Program and International Exchange Service), using LOCKSS technology. Pilot participants included 18 universities, the German National Library, the United States National Agricultural Library and the Government Printing Office. Alaska State Publications Program To continue complying with its obligations under Alaska state statutes to "make state publications freely available to Alaskans by distributing them to local depository libraries", the Alaska State Library is expanding its depository program to preserve Alaska State publications that are Web-only by making them accessible to LOCKSS collection. CLOCKSS "Controlled LOCKSS") is "a not-for-profit community partnership among publishers and libraries that is developing a distributed, validated, comprehensive archive that preserves and ensures continuing access to electronic scholarly content" using a private LOCKSS network. It mobilizes the resources of twelve large publishers and seven institutions. * New media art preservation. Arts organizations (including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Berkeley Art Museum, the Daniel Langlois Foundation for Art, Science and Technology, the New Museum of Contemporary Art's's Rhizome. org and the Franklin Furnace Archive, amongst others) have been collaborating on various initiatives in the research of New media art preservation. Such initiatives include the Variable Media Network and the Archiving the Avant Garde project. * The National Digital Heritage Archive (NDHA) programme is a partnership between the National Library of New Zealand, Ex Libris Group and Sun Microsystems to develop 'Preservation' a digital archive and preservation management system. Established in 2004, the NDHA Programme is due to be completed in late 2009. * The Rose Goldsen Archive of New Media Art The Archive was founded in 2002 by Timothy Murray and was named after the pioneering critic of the commercialization of mass media, the late Professor Rose Goldsen of Cornell University. The Archive hosts international art work produced on CD-Rom, DVD-Rom, video, digital interfaces, and the internet. Its collection of supporting materials includes unpublished manuscripts and designs, catalogues, monographs, and resource guides to new media art. The curatorial vision emphasizes digital interfaces and artistic experimentation by international, independent artists. Designed as an experimental center of research and creativity, the Goldsen Archive includes materials by individual artists and collaborates on conceptual experimentation and archival strategies with international curatorial and fellowship projects. * DSpace is an open source software that is available to anyone who has the World Wide Web. DSpace essentially takes data in multiple formats (text, video, audio, or data), distributes it over the web, indexes the data (for easy retrieval), and preserves the data over time. Posting data on DSpace is fairly simple, but it does require those who are posting it to have the copyright to the material or to have permission to post non-copyrighted data. The information entered into DSpace (title, author, publication information, and keywords) is called "Metadata. " DSpace's main use for cataloging this "Metadata" is to preserve it over time. * The British Library is responsible for several programmes in the area of digital preservation. The National Archives of the United Kingdom have also pioneered various initiatives in the field of digital preservation. Both use the Safety Deposit Box software from Tessella. * PLANETS (Preservation and Long-term Access through Networked Services) is a four-year project co-funded by the European Union under the Sixth Framework Programme to address core digital preservation challenges. The primary goal for Planets is to build practical services and tools to help ensure long-term access to our digital cultural and scientific assets. * DigitalPreservationEurope (DPE) is the EU project registered in Information Society Technologies (IST) priority funded under Sixth Framework Programme of EU. The project started in the April 2006 and will end in the March 2009. The project focuses on dissemination of the digital preservation issues to professionals as well as non-professionals, and on the coordination of digital preservation activities across Europe. In order to share information on current initiatives on digital preservation, the DPE project has set up a registry of research activities and projects and carried out a state of the art review on international Competence Centres for digital curation and preservation. *'PADI is a comprehensive archive of information on the topic of digital preservation from the National Library of Australia. * The Preserve Games project was launched in 2008 by professor Megan Winget in participation with IMLS and the Center for American History at the University of Texas in order to help preserve the creation history of Massively multiplayer online game games. The project intended to preserve artifacts of the game creation process itself rather than the final game. * The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) is a UK-based non-profit limited company which seeks to secure the preservation of digital resources in the UK and internationally to secure the global digital memory and knowledge base. * CASPAR (Cultural, Artistic and Scientific knowledge for Preservation, Access and Retrieval) is a project funded by the European Union.
