Digital Preservation Prototype: Insights from MDL and HathiTrust Collaboration

The Minnesota Digital Library (MDL) has initiated a prototype project focused on digital image preservation in collaboration with HathiTrust. This presentation outlines the capabilities needed for handling diverse formats, establishing workflows for partners, and ensuring bit preservation alongside metadata management. With a clear governance model and defined roles, MDL aims to address concerns about digital accessibility and preservation. Insights from the partnership with HathiTrust, including the submission of “Submission Information Packages,” are discussed, along with future trials and steps in the preservation process.
