*NOW AVAILABLE: TRAC Certified Long-term Digital Preservation–DuraCloud and
Chronopolis for Institutional Treasures *

An institution’s identity is often formed by what it saves for current and
future access. Digital collections curated by the academy can include
research data, images, texts, reports, artworks, books, and historic
documents help define an academic institution’s identity. Trustworthy
Repositories Audit and Certification (TRAC
<https://www.crl.edu/sites/default/files/d6/attachments/pages/trac_0.pdf>)
 certification was developed by OCLC, CRL and NARA to provide universities
and colleges with an understanding of which repositories could be trusted
to host and preserve their academic digital treasures.

In collaboration with the University of California at San Diego’s
Chronopolis <https://libraries.ucsd.edu/chronopolis/> service, DuraSpace is
pleased to announce the availability of the DuraCloud Enterprise
