This past fall the Cornell University Library (CUL) drafted an interim plan to manage, archive and preserve all the participating Project Euclid  journals in advance of the launch of Cornell University Library's Open Archival Information System (OAIS) in 2008.  Cornell's OAIS will ensure the long-term management and digital preservation Cornell's digital assets, including the 40+ mathematics and statistics journals that participate in Project Euclid.

The interim asset management plan acknowledges that digital preservation is a shared responsibility and commits Cornell and the Project Euclid publishers to a series of activities over the next two years that will firmly establish a digital preservation program for protecting and maintaining their digital content. The interim plan will be implemented in early 2006 and cover the 2-year period when the OAIS is under development.  In 2008 Project Euclid, CUL, and Euclid's partner publishers will review and devise an extended OAIS-compliant preservation plan and explore opportunities for cost recovery to ensure access for future generations of mathematicians and statisticians. A copy of the interim plan is available at http://projecteuclid.org/webdocs/ProjectEuclid-Preservation2006.pdf.
