In addition to the OAIS model, the DCC Curation Lifecycle Model
<http://www.dcc.ac.uk/resources/curation-lifecycle-model> informs digital
preservation- it's less conceptual than OAIS and outlines the various steps
that are involved in the whole lifecycle of the digital object, including
storage.

I second the recommendation for Erway's "You've got to walk before you can
run." "Overwhelmed to action: digital preservation challenges at the
under-resourced institution
<http://digitalpowrr.niu.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Overwhelmed-to-action.rinehart_prudhomme_huot_2014.pdf>"
might also be helpful if you are eventually interested in drumming up
organization support and resources. Otherwise, it's oft repeated that no
one storage/preservation strategy is best for all material types, so
this little
document <http://www.dpworkshop.org/dpm-eng/terminology/strategies.html> might
give you a better sense of some of the practical methods you can employ and
their relative effectiveness. There is growing interest in cloud services
<http://blog.nationalarchives.gov.uk/blog/cloud-storage-archives-match-made-heaven/>,
too.
