LIFE Project tackles digital
preservation costing
UCL and the British Library
have completed phase 1 of a JISC funded project examining the costing of
digital preservation activities. The LIFE Project has developed a methodology
for analysing and costing the elements of a digital object's lifecycle,
including preservation. It has tested and refined this methodology by applying
it to a number of case studies. These include Voluntary Deposit of e-materials
at the BL, Web Archiving at the BL, and commercial eJournals at UCL.
A short summary of the final
report can be found here:

The Project culminated in an
international conference at the British Library,
