ERPANET

RLG is very pleased to announce the launch of a new initiative in
digital preservation:  ERPANET (Electronic Resource Preservation and
Access NETwork).  This is an exciting new effort funded by the
European Commission, that will create a European consortium whose
role will be to provide a virtual clearinghouse and knowledge-base
on state-of-the-art developments in digital preservation.
Additionally, the consortium will transfer expertise among
individuals and institutions as well as develop an online and
physical community focused on preservation.

The University of Glasgow (Dr Seamus Ross) and its partners the
Schweizerisches Bundesarchiv (Switzerland) (Niklaus Butikofer),
Rijksarchiefdienst(Netherlands) (Hans Hofman), and the University of
Urbino (Italy) (Maria Guercio) will lead this initiative.
