Persée, the French dissemination and archiving agency, joins the Keepers Registry

Long-term archiving is at the heart of Persée’s commitment and today Persée joins the Keepers Registry service managed by the ISSN International Centre.

The Keepers Registry is a free online service. Partner archives provide the ISSN International Centre with data on the titles they hold.

Thanks to the ISSN, this data is linked to each title in the ISSN portal to inform the library and publishing community about the long-term preservation of this cultural and scientific heritage. It is possible to retrieve this data for long-term preservation by subscribing to the Submit.Retrieve.Reuse service.

Gabrielle Richard, Director of Persée, stresses that “referencing, openness and preservation are the challenges of scientific publishing and the creation of digital collections”.

Gaëlle Béquet, Director of the ISSN International Centre, welcomes the arrival of this new partner: “We are delighted to be working with our colleagues at Persée to better disseminate information on the long-term preservation of French-language scholarly content.”
