Summary:

CUL is committed to collecting and caring for digital content to support the goals and vision of CUL, and the mission and core values of the University of Cambridge.

Format types:

CUL accepts any type of digital content, regardless format, quality, carrier or rights. CUL prefers and selects the highest quality of digital content available, with a preference for open rather than proprietary file formats.

Third-party content support:

CUL hosts and makes available third-party digital content.

Preservation:

Minimum preservation activities ensure that preservation master, co-master and born-digital original digital content, associated materials, associated metadata and fixity information for each file are retained. Preservation master, co-master, born-digital original, associated materials and associated metadata are stored in no less than three geographically separate locations and utilise a diversity of storage media. Recovery of all preservation master, co-master, born digital original, associated materials and associated metadata is possible from all locations and storage media, and is successfully tested on an annual basis.
