LOCKSS Alliance

The LOCKSS (Lot of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) Alliance is a collaborative network that helps libraries, archives, and publishers preserve digital content like journals and research articles. It uses a system of multiple copies stored across different locations, ensuring that content remains accessible even if original sources become unavailable or damaged. This decentralized approach enhances the long-term preservation and integrity of digital materials, safeguarding valuable scholarly information for future generations. The alliance promotes shared stewardship and best practices in digital preservation, fostering resilience and trust in documentary collections.
