Community-Driven Digital Preservation with COPPUL

Abstract

In 2015, COPPUL decided to strategically focus on supporting digital preservation, by hiring a Digital Preservation Coordinator and establishing what is now known as the COPPUL Digital Stewardship Network (CDSN). The CDSN, which is overseen by a steering committee, is intended to help COPPUL member institutions preserve, manage, and provide access to unique digital collections through offering a suite of preservation services built on open and flexible technologies, building capacity among COPPUL members, and working together with other digital preservation groups across Canada and the world.
