The Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) is pleased to announce that we have published an updated version of our Collection Policy. This expanded document replaces the 2015 policy, published at the launch of the DRI.
The Collection Policy provides an overview of the types of data, digital assets, and collections which the DRI aims to preserve, and should inform potential depositors on whether they may hold appropriate content for ingestion. DRI operates as a membership-based organisation. Generally, deposits are made by DRI members or those affiliated with DRI member organisations. DRI also runs a Community Archive Scheme which offers free membership to organisations that operate on a no or low-funded, voluntary basis.
DRI is committed to diversifying its collections to represent a wide range of content from, by, and about Ireland. In the coming year we will be expanding our policy to widen the pathways to deposit to the DRI.
The updated Collection Policy is freely accessible in the repository here: https://doi.org/10.7486/DRI.kk91v774c
