Walk Before We Run: The Digital Preservation Journey at the University of Otago Library : Long Paper - iPRES 2025 - Wellington, New Zealand / Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa
Abstract
The University of Otago Library Te Pātaka Mātauraka o Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka, needed to replace its digital asset management system which failed to deliver on both digital preservation and collection access goals. The University initiated a project prioritising ‘preservation for access’ to migrate approximately 18,000 digital collection items, integrate with existing collection management systems and establish digital preservation and discovery workflows. Despite several obstacles, collaboration between the Hocken Collections, the Library, and Information Technology Services improved digital preservation understanding for the organisation and helped ensure access to digital collection items in perpetuity.Details
