It’s World Digital Preservation Day 2021 🎊
As ever, Exact Editions is supporting this brilliant initiative that shines a spotlight on the importance of digital preservation in an increasingly virtual and connected world.
This theme of this year’s event, ‘Breaking Down Barriers’, is an opportunity to demonstrate how digital preservation supports digital connections, unlocks potential and creates lasting value.
Geographically, the evolution of digital publishing technology has allowed publications and content from all four corners of the world to reach new international audiences at the touch of a button 🌏
But how is this access maintained securely and reliably? At Exact Editions, digitised files are stored on Amazon’s S3 service; a highly scalable, highly available, fast, data storage infrastructure.
In the case of Perpetual Access subscriptions, which guarantee access to the complete archive of a particular publication and all future published issues, there is an additional storage location: ‘community-supported preservation archive’ Portico. In the case that digital issues are unable to be provided at some future point, Portico would make the content available to subscribers.
To celebrate #WDPD2021, we are highlighting six international magazines who focus on content from specific countries, regions or languages.
Complete and fully-searchable digital issues of all six magazines will be available until the end of next Thursday 11th November through the link below:
