DSpace@Cambridge is ready to take your digital output. Jointly managed by Cambridge ̽»¨Ö±²¥ Library and the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ Computing Service, the DSpace digital repository has been created to store, disseminate and preserve digital content created by the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge academic community. Once deposited, most items are freely accessible to all, both within and beyond the ̽»¨Ö±²¥.

Since DSpace@Cambridge became a strategic service to the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ nearly two years ago, a full service team has been recruited and a total of 555 GB of digital data has now been stored. ̽»¨Ö±²¥repository includes everything from scholarly articles to rock art images, medieval and modern manuscripts to lecture series, large datasets and collections.

‘As digital material of all types becomes increasingly important for research,’ said Heather Lane, Librarian and Acting Keeper of Collections at the Scott Polar Research Institute, ‘we rely on DSpace@Cambridge to provide facilities and support to make our digital holdings accessible to the widest possible audience.’ Professor Hugh Mellor, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Philosophy, added: ’This excellent facility meets the ̽»¨Ö±²¥â€™s growing need to preserve electronically and make accessible material of permanent importance that would otherwise disappear.’

Use of the service for data preservation and dissemination is free of charge to the employees and students of the ̽»¨Ö±²¥ of Cambridge.
