University of California Digital Preservation Strategy

The University of California Digital Preservation Strategy aims to ensure that valuable digital materials—such as research data, academic publications, and historical records—remain accessible and intact over time. It involves systematic methods for storing, backing up, and managing digital content to prevent loss from hardware failures, obsolescence, or digital decay. The strategy employs best practices, technology solutions, and policies to protect digital assets long-term, supporting ongoing scholarly work, research, and the university’s historical record for future generations.
