This is a fun question. Off the top of my head and in no particular order, I would say leading (US) academic institutions are: Stanford, Columbia, MIT, University of Virginia, and UNC.
University of Michigan (especially the Bentley), Emory, UIUC, Maryland, and so many others are also notable, it's hard to pick a top
five.
A little promotion of my own institution: Indiana University is pretty trailblazing in terms of A/V preservation - with our
MDPI project we'll have 6.5PB of data very soon and this is leading us to work in the development of repository and storage solutions at scale.

Make sure you get data that enables you to determine whether an institution is a true peer to your own. A “large” amount of digital holdings can mean anything from 3TB to 40 TB to half a petabyte or more depending on who you talk to. “Access” can mean things as different as a catalog record/finding aid or online delivery of holdings content. Format variety is another consideration factor.
These come out of my own experiences looking for peers with which to compare notes.
Best,

Subject: Re: [NDSA-ALL] Long-term Digital Preservation Plan
The Digital Preservation network is in production and accepting deposits for long term digital preservation. We have 60 member institutions, led by our preservation nodes at AP Trust, Hathi Trust, Chronopolis, The Texas Preservation Node, and the Stanford Digital Repository (www.dpn.org). DPN operates a dark archive that includes rights management and interpretive metadata.
Contact me or Mary Molinaro ([log in to unmask]) with questions.
Thanks,

A crazy question for the community…
If you had to list 5 academic libraries currently leading the actual implementation of long-term digital preservation at both the planning and operational levels, who would you list?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
