University of California Digital Preservation Initiative (UCDPI)

The University of California Digital Preservation Initiative (UCDPI) is a project aimed at protecting and maintaining digital materials such as research data, documents, images, and recordings. Its goal is to ensure these valuable digital assets remain accessible and usable over time, despite technological changes and potential data loss. By establishing best practices, tools, and policies, UCDPI helps university libraries and institutions responsibly manage their digital collections for future research, education, and historical preservation.
