Apologies for cross posting **For anyone interested in the long-term preservation of digital materials the following message will be of interest. Please forward to colleagues.** Funded under the JISC/NSF International Digital Libraries Programme, the CAMiLEON Project has been established to investigate emulation as a strategy for the long-term preservation and continuing access of digital materials. This has lead to a number of important working papers on the subject of emulation itself as well as on data migration and the relationship between these two apparently different technical strategies. Now available for public consultation are the following working papers: (please forward all comments directly to the authors) 1. "Emulation, Preservation and Abstraction" by David Holdsworth and Paul Wheatley 2. "Emulation: C-ing Ahead" by David Holdsworth 3. "Migration: A CAMiLEON Discussion Paper" by Paul Wheatley Abstracts and links to the full text are available from : http://www.leeds.ac.uk/CAMiLEON/ *The CAMiLEON Project is a joint funded project by the National Science Foundation in the US and by JISC in the UK. It is a partnership between the University of Leeds (through the Cedars Project) and the University of Michigan. CAMiLEON stands for Creative Archiving at Michigan and Leeds: Emulating the Old on the New. *********** Kelly Russell CEDARS Project Manager Edward Boyle Library phone: (+44) (0)113 233 6386 The University of Leeds fax: (+44) (0)113 233 5539 Leeds LS2 9JT email: [log in to unmask] http://www.leeds.ac.uk/cedars ***** Daniel Greenstein Director, Digital Library Federation CLIR 1755 Massachusetts Ave, NW Suite 500 Washington DC 20036 phone 202 939 4762
