I hadn't planned to do anything particular for #WDPD this year, but when inspiration hits who am I to deny it?

So, here's my contribution for 2025, all put together since 10:30 this morning! A bit of fun aimed at everyone's "favourite" standard... 😝

Bonne journée mondiale de la préservation numérique !

Saviez-vous qu’en 2024 et 2025, l’Université de Victoria et l’Université du Manitoba sont devenues les premières institutions Borealis à faire certifier leurs collections comme étant des dépôts de données fiables par CoreTrustSeal ?

Cette certification signifie que ces collections répondent aux normes les plus élevées de préservation et aux meilleures pratiques en matière de gestion des données, garantissant que ces données seront découvrables et réutilisables à long terme.

Au cours de la dernière année, nous avons travaillé sur le développement d’une suite de documentation CoreTrustSeal pour aider d’autres institutions Borealis à obtenir la certification.

Cette suite de documentation est maintenant disponible sur SPOTDocs, le wiki Borealis : https://oculsp.ca/ajqz1

Happy World Digital Preservation Day!

Did you know that in 2024 and 2025 the University of Victoria and the University of Manitoba became the first Borealis institutions to have their collections certified as Trustworthy Data Repositories by CoreTrustSeal?

This certification means that these collections meet the highest standards of preservation and best practices in data management, ensuring the data will be discoverable and reusable for the long term.

Over the past year, we have been working on developing a CoreTrustSeal Documentation Suite to support other Borealis institutions in pursuing certification.

This documentation suite is now available on SPOTDocs, the Borealis wiki: https://oculsp.ca/ajqz1

Happy World Digital Preservation Day!

As the eresource landscape continues to shift, Scholars Portal is committed to supporting Canadian libraries with long-term preservation and perpetual access to their resources, even after termination of vendor agreement.

Preservation rights for eresources hosted by SP include local load, perpetual access, and transformation rights, allowing us to migrate content to other formats as technology becomes obsolete, extending access long into the future.

We receive independent copies of journal content from publishers, which we then host on servers at the University of Toronto Libraries and preserve in our Trustworthy Digital Repository (TDR).

You can learn more about how SP supports the long-term preservation of eresources in our 2024-2025 Annual Report and in the Spotlight section of our September 2025 Newsletter, contributed by eresource staff at Ontario libraries.
