The Keepers Registry – key facts

• Aggregation of metadata supplied by a number of archiving agencies (7 at present)

• This metadata :– Describes a journal (title, ISSN, publisher)– Identifies the agency which is archiving the journal– Provides information on which volumes of the journal have

been preserved

• The project started as PEPRS 1(August 2008 – July 2010); Phase 2 (August 2010 – July 2012); Phase 3 October 2012 – July 2013)

• Funded by Jisc

• ISSN International Centre, Paris, is a partner providing the ISSN Register

• PEPRS Beta service April 2011 – September 2011

• The Keepers Registry October 2011 -

One analysis of the coverage of subscriptions by two keepers

“Our analysis of e-journal preservation coverage indicates that LOCKSS and Portico combine to preserve only a relatively small percentage of the CUL’s e-journal holdings, for example, less than 15% of Cornell e-journal titles as a whole”.
