The ECHO DEPository (Phase 1) is an NDIIPP-partner research and development project at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in partnership with OCLC, the National Center for Supercomputing Applications); the Michigan State University Library; and an alliance of state libraries from Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, North Carolina and Wisconsin. Our aim is to support the digital preservation efforts of the Library of Congress by addressing issues of how we collect, manage, preserve, and make useful the enormous amount of digital information our culture is now producing. Phase 1 project activities (Fall 2004 through 2007) included developing web archiving tools, evaluating existing repository software, developing an architecture to enhance existing repositories??? interoperability and preservation features, and modeling next-generation repositories for supporting long-term preservation.This narrative report describes project activities and deliverables during ECHO DEP Phase 1.
