Money granted for digital preservation

The Library of Congress will provide approximately $700,000 over three years to Stanford in support of CLOCKSS, a collaborative initiative between publishers, librarians and universities to create a large-scale archive that will serve as a fail-safe repository for published digital scholarly content.

The CLOCKSS (Controlled LOCKSS) initiative is an effort to provide assurance to the research community that a disaster will not obstruct access to journal content. The initiative will create a “dark” archive, accessible to users only after the occurrence of certain defined trigger events.
