Collaborative Digital Preservation in Illinois Survey
Over the past several years, the Digital POWRR project has been evaluating various digital preservation approaches and solutions, with an eye on solutions that would prove most beneficial for small/medium sized (or less financially sourced) institutions. We are currently administering this survey to all interested Illinois based libraries/archives/cultural heritage institutions to assist us in gathering data for planning the next phase of our project. We are in the very early stages of formulating a grant application to the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) for an Implementation Grant for building a collaborative statewide digital preservation solution. We don’t know what this solution will look like just yet. Your answers will GREATLY help us shape the model we propose. One of the things we have learned thus far is that digital preservation solutions are best achieved through channels of collaboration, and that we have strength in numbers. This survey assesses your institution’s potential interest in joining a statewide collaborative, and tries to gather the components that would be necessary for such a collaboration to run. Thank you for your willingness to provide us with comments and feedback - it will be invaluable to us as we start to put theory into action!

CARLI is financially unable to help start or run any sort of digital preservation service. Any collaborative that we build will need to be self-sustaining. Would you be willing to pay an annual membership fee to the collaborative, in addition to the cost of processing and storing your materials in the system?
