CRKN is certified as a Trustworthy Digital Repository (TDR), a reliable and integrated digital preservation system in which deposited content can be identified, collected, managed, and kept secure over time. The TDR provides a permanent capability to preserve the documentary heritage digitized through CRKN projects, as well as content already digitized or born-digital, and content received from members, partners, and stakeholders.
Preservation Commitments
CRKN has recently created a Preservation Strategic Framework and a Trustworthy Digital Repository Policy (linked below in Resources). Please consult them for detailed information on what digital materials we preserve and how we ensure their preservation.
