Stewardship of the Digital Scholarly Record and of Each Nation’s Published Heritage.

Digital preservation of electronic serials has been a matter of concern to the library community for over a decade. Reviewing the current preservation landscape, there is evidence of progress but also of the need for further work. A group of institutions that work together as part of the Keepers Registry has made great progress in preserving increasing numbers of electronic serials, using the International Standard Serial Number to identify and target serials not currently preserved for long-term use. This success is evident in the aggregate, but also in the specific focuses and accomplishments of these individual “Keepers.” By working together the institutions involved have demonstrated the feasibility and promise of achieving digital preservation of serials at scale.
