This report concentrates on the practical aspects of the National Library of Australia's PADI Safekeeping project, including selection, archiving and workflows. Some technical aspects of the National Library of Australia's in-house web archiving system, PANDAS, are also discussed.

Why Safekeep Resources?

Important digital information resources are in danger of becoming lost without good management. PADI is a subject gateway that attempts to bring together the most useful sources of advice and research relating to how digital information can be managed. However, identification is not enough if digital information is to remain available for use in the long-term. PADI Safekeeping not only seeks to identify but also to preserve key resources in its area of interest.
