AIMS has just released its new white paper titled “AIMS Born-Digital Collections: An Inter-Institutional Model for Stewardship.” The AIMS Project is a partnership between the University of Virginia Libraries, Stanford University Libraries and Academic Resources, the University of Hull Library, and Yale University Library with support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The project evolved around a common need among the project partners — and most libraries and archives— to identify a methodology or continuous framework for stewarding born-digital archival materials.
