I've added my del.icio.us links to the sidebar. Now I have to start actually figuring out how to use del.icio.us more powerfully. Suggestions?

Digital Preservation Redux

Meredith Farkas asked over in Information Wants to Be Free about libraries that are working on digital preservation of blogs. Since I'm currently looking into this too to start researching the next chapter of The Book, I wanted to highlight some of the projects that I've already found, either on my own, or through the comments to Meredith's post, and ask folks to chime in with others that I'm missing. So, I guess this posting is mostly for my reference. But hopefully, it will be useful to others, too. I've not looked closely at these projects yet, but I plan to very soon.

Some places that are already doing it:

The National Library of Australia, with their PANDORA project.

The Wellcome Trust in the UK, which is working on Digital Curation

The Paradigm project, through Oxford and Manchester, and funded by the JISC has produced a workbook on digital private papers.

The California Digital Library has a digital preservation project.

Berkeley has put together a group of online preservation resources that include quite a bit on digital preservation.

The Library of Congress is working through the Digital Library Foundation on Digital Preservation, including a Web Capture project. LC also hosts the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP)

The University of Michigan has their Mblog product set up to automatically archive blogs produced through their site.

Cornell University has a site for Digital Preservation Management

There is the Digital Preservation Coalition, also based in the UK.

Digital preservation is not new as a concept; back in 1996, Paul Conway from Yale produced a report for CLIR.
ETA:

National Library of Singapore web archive project.

Thus ends my Google-Fu for this morning. Feel free to add your own in the comments!
