SHERPA has announced the JISC-funded SHERPA Digital Preservation Project. From the project web site: 'This project will create a collaborative, shared preservation environment for the SHERPA institutional repositories project framed around the Open Archiving Information Systems (OAIS) Reference Model. The project will bring together the SHERPA institutional repository systems with the preservation repository established by the Arts and Humanities Data Service to create an environment that fully addresses all the requirements of the different phases within the life cycle of digital information.' The project will launch on January 1, 2005, and run for one year.

Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature

free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
