One Year of Progress: Report on the Digital Preservation Planning
Project 
http://www.library.yale.edu/~okerson/yea/

This report provides results of the e-archiving planning effort between the
Yale University Library and Elsevier Science. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation, the Yale-Elsevier planning project undertook the task of
examining the challenges and opportunities of digitally preserving a
collection of commercially published scientific journals. The planning
project has begun the process of designing a small prototype archive that
(according to the report) has the potential to become "the cornerstone of an
e-journal archive environment that provides full backup, preservation,
refreshing, and migration functions." Available in Adobe Acrobat (.pdf)
format, interested viewers can download the report in its entirety or by
individual sections. [MG]
