The Australian government has launched the Australian Partnership for Sustainable Repositories. From the web site: 'The APSR Project aims to establish a centre of excellence for the management of of scholarly assets in digital format. It has an overall focus on the critical issues of the access continuity and the sustainability of digital collections. It will build on a base of demonstrators for digital continuity and sustainability, embedded in developmental repository facilities within partner institutions. It will contribute to national strength in this area by encouraging the development of skills and expertise and providing coordination throughout the sector. It will actively provide international linkages and national services.'
