This paper outlines the challenge of preserving the vast and diverse amount of digital content generated by the CERN community. To begin, we define the initial scope of preservation, giving an overview of the digital repositories selected for the development of an OAIS compliant archive at CERN. The OAIS reference model will then be briefly introduced, explaining what are the fundamental components of a digital preservation system and how they are being implemented. Next, we introduce the CERN Digital Preservation platform, which is designed to orchestrate these components and enable existing information systems to adopt a preservation strategy. We highlight how existing tools and digital preservation solutions, such as Archivematica, are being integrated into this platform.
