Background
Who we are
The Exploring Collaborations to Harness Objects in a Digital Environment for Preservation
(ECHO DEPository) Project began as a three-year $2.75M federal partnership with the
Library of Congress under its
National Digital Information Infrastructure Preservation Program
(NDIIPP).
The project was a partnership among the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
(the
Illinois Library,
the
Graduate School of Library and Information Science and the
National Center for Supercomputing Applications [NCSA]), and the
Online Computer Library Center (OCLC), together
with the
Perseus Project at Tufts University,
the
Vincent Voice Library at Michigan State University Library,
and an alliance of state libraries from
Arizona, Connecticut, Illinois, North Carolina, and Wisconsin.
At
the end of 2007 the ECHO DEPository Project received an additional
$562,500 from the Library of Congress to fund extended, as well as new,
research on technical architecture work. At that time the Illinois Department of Computer Science joined the project, and the University of Maryland became a project partner.
