Trusted Digital Repository
PAGE CONTENTS 3 minute read.
During the 2015 year, the Digital Libraries Division of the UNT Libraries completed a self-audit using the criteria of the Trusted Repositories Audit & Certification: Criteria and Checklist (TRAC). The goal of this audit was to formalize processes and create documentation necessary for the operation of a trusted digital library.
The team involved with this audit included the following participants:
- Mark Phillips, Associate University Librarian - Digital Libraries
- Hannah Tarver, Department Head, Digital Projects Unit
- Ana Krahmer, Head, Digital Newspaper Unit
- Daniel Alemneh, Head, Digital Curation Unit
- Laura Waugh, Repository Librarian for Scholarly Works
In addition, numerous individuals throughout the UNT Libraries contributed to the documentation effort.
UNT Libraries: TRAC Conformance Document serves as an audit of the activities and methodologies behind the preservation of and access to content in the UNT Libraries’ Digital Collections. The audit examines two major infrastructure pieces: the Coda repository system, used for preservation services, and the Aubrey system, which provides public access to digital resources through The Portal to Texas History, the UNT Digital Library, and the Gateway to Oklahoma History.
