The Texas Digital Library Preservation Network

Abstract

The TDL is developing a Preservation Network to support the repositories and collections of the scholarly output of the State of Texas. The Preservation Network will be a network of repository and redundant systems, located initially across the State of Texas, which will be able to manage and co-locate data for future research endeavors, as well as preserving data against potential failure at any one location.

The Preservation Network is now in its first stages, with testing underway between Austin and College Station locations. TDL will describe the project, provide updates as to their current status, and goals for the near and far future of the project.
