The Manuscripts and Archives department, Yale University Library, and the Digital Collections and Archives, Tufts University are pleased to announce
the completion of the "Fedora and the Preservation of University Records
Project." Funded by the United States National Historical Publications and
Records Commission (NHPRC), the project combined electronic records
preservation research and theory with digital library practice to
investigate three primary areas of research: requirements for trustworthy
recordkeeping systems and preservation activities, ingesting records into a
preservation system, and maintaining records in a preservation system. While
the Tufts-Yale Project is aimed at university archivists and focuses
primarily on university records, the findings are not university-specific
and are easily applicable to the management and preservation of electronic
records in many industries.

The project is releasing twelve reports and an ingest prototype tool. The
reports fall into four groups: introduction, ingest, maintain, and findings.
All reports and the ingest prototype tool are available in the Reports and
Findings section of the project website
