  1. Digital SafeArchiving digital records for the long term Neil Jefferies and David Tomkins Bodleian Digital Library (BDLSS)

  2. ‘Digital preservation won’t do itself, won’t go away, and we shouldn't wait for perfection before we begin to act. Access to data in the future is not guaranteed without input now…’ William Kilbride, Future Arch Blog, 30 January 2012

  3. Issues • No real provision for consistent management or long-term preservation of electronic data • The University Archives holds formal records but not necessarily in digital form, and is not designed to store the majority of outputs produced across the University • Digital records are stored in an ad hoc manner all over the University by the departments and colleges which produced them • The paperless office is not necessarily a cheap option

  4. Solution The Collegiate University needs a simple, easily accessible, cost effective, reliable electronic archive: • Simple to use but able to cater for complexity • Controllable and granular • Integrity and availability of the material • Security • Cost-effective and reliable

  5. Electronic Archive Pilot Project • Phase 1: July 2012 – June 2013 Information-gathering, scoping and review of other activities • Phase 2: October 2013 – April 2014 Development and testing of a digital preservation model • Digital Safe-C (colleges) • Digital Safe-U (departments and other units) • Interim phase: May 2014 – September 2014 User-testing, development fixes and fund-finding • Phase 3: October 2014 onward Cost-recovery model, roll-out and wider dissemination

  6. Pilot Groups • Digital Safe-C (colleges) • Keble College • Magdalen College • Digital Safe-U (departments and other units) • National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit (NPEU) • University Administration and Services • University Archives • Bodleian Electronic Archives and Manuscripts (BEAM) • Bodleian Digital Library (BDLSS) • Custodial role – ‘steward’ rather than ‘owner’
