The Center for Research Libraries is working with a small team from the California Digital Library's Discovery & Delivery group to develop a Print Archives Preservation Registry (PAPR). PAPR will support research library and consortial efforts to archive and manage critical print serial collections in an informed and cost-effective manner. PAPR will feature a searchable database of information about current print archiving programs and holdings worldwide, including characteristics such as retention period, archiving facilities and conditions, availability in digital repositories, level of content validation, and access provided.
