“Every university in the world can and should have its own
open-access, OAI-compliant repository and a policy to
encourage or require its faculty members to deposit their
research output in the repository.
When universities host OA repositories, they
usually take steps to ensure long-term
preservation in addition to OA.”
- Peter Suber

“Today, large amounts of the world’s newly created
cultural heritage are only available digitally,
and never “fixed” in a physical form.
While digital technologies offer a means of giving
unlimited access to culture today, access tomorrow is far
from guaranteed.
With the move from an analogue object-based
memory (documents, museum objects, film rolls,
photographs, etc.) to a digital-based memory, librarians,
archivists, governments and, increasingly,
individuals are facing new challenges in ensuring
that our collective cultural heritage will not be lost.”
