MetaArchive Transformation

The MetaArchive Cooperative announced that Educopia is ending its sponsorship, but members’ data remains secure. MetaArchive, the longest-running private LOCKSS network, will continue its operations, allowing members time to find new hosting solutions. The LOCKSS Program team is exploring options like finding a new host, merging with other networks, or creating new ones. MetaArchive’s resilience and collaborative approach have been vital, and its transition is seen as a positive example in digital preservation. Discussions for new partnerships are underway.
