Hi all, I am working on a possible presentation about digital preservation software and I want to mention some of the more-or-less complete digital preservation systems that are available or nearly available that Libraries, Archives, and Museums are or are considering using. Buy more-or-less complete, I mean systems that are built for digital preservation built-in as opposed to digital asset management or digital library systems that focus more on access than on preservation. At this point, I am also not that interested with systems that are focused solely on bit-stream preservation and less on other preservation issues (these type of systems have their place but it is not what I want to focus on at this time). I am also not interested in home-grown systems that are not currently packaged as a complete open source (or commercial) package. Off the top of my head, some of the systems that come to mind that were built for preservation include: Archivematica (open source, managed by Artefactual Systems) DAITASS (open source, Florida Center for Library Automation (FCLA)) Digital Preservation Software Platform (DPSP) (open source, National Archives of Australia). Rosetta (proprietary, Ex Libris) Tesslla (proprietary) Others that might qualify at some level that I plan on looking at: DSpace E-prints (with preservation add-ons) Fedora Commons / Islandora LOCKSS I am sure there are others. However finding information about which projects are actively being developed, the degree in which they actually do preservation (e.g. not just bit-stream preservation) and how much they are used is difficult and I am sure this community will find some that Google searching will not. Thanks, Edward
