Introduction
• The Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford provides a 'private cloud' local infrastructure for its digital collections.
• The library holds a wide range of archives and special collections, including hybrid collections of analogue and digital material.
• The library offers archival storage for deposits, while the Oxford e-Research Centre offers storage with access to the academic Data Grid.
Importance of Digital Preservation
• Digital preservation is of major importance to the library.
• They are a legal deposit library and have a responsibility to preserve digital materials.
• The library also needs to comply with Research Council mandates for data retention.
Consortium Approach
• The library is actively looking for partners for a consortium approach to digital preservation.
• They have discussions with other institutions and strong ties with the US digital preservation community.
• Preservation advantages include having a copy of the data stored in a geographically distant location with a preservation partner institution.
Technical Infrastructure
• The library uses various software and tools for preservation, including FEDORA, PRONOM, DROID, and Forensic Toolkit.
• They have a private cloud infrastructure based on VMware ESX running across multiple sites.
• The infrastructure includes a mix of disk and tape storage tiers.
Business Case and Funding
• The main issues in a business case for cloud storage for digital preservation are the cost and risk profiles.
• Fixed term research project grant funding requires upfront payment for perpetual or long-term storage.
• Local storage can charge capital costs to a grant proposal and provide upfront payment options.
Lessons Learned
• Archiving and digital preservation is often less developed than people think.
• The Open Archival Information System (OAIS) Reference Model is useful but not necessarily scalable.
• Using external providers can have asymmetric risks, and there is no guarantee of longevity for commercial providers.
Future Plans
• The growth in research data will require a significant re-engineering of provision at all levels across the University.
• The library is planning to start archiving data at a Petabyte scale over the next three years.
• More automation and packaged tools are desired for preservation workflows.
