Indiana University Libraries joins the Digital Preservation Coalition
Added on 15 February 2024
The Digital Preservation Coalition (DPC) welcomes Indiana University Libraries (IU Libraries) this week, as they become the Coalition’s newest Associate Member.
Based on Indiana University’s flagship campus at Bloomington, Indiana, IU Libraries is the largest research library system in the state and serves not only its students, faculty, and alumni, but all residents of Indiana and many researchers from around the world. In collaboration with its many campus partners, IU Libraries have undertaken a number of innovative and ambitious digitization projects over the past few years, most notably the Media Digitization and Preservation Initiative. Nearly 20 petabytes of digital preservation data were produced in this multi-year project that digitally reformatted over 350,000 audio, video, and film assets from IU’s university-wide holdings, many on degrading or obsolete media formats.
