Following a formal procurement and evaluation process, Preservica will deliver
a secure, cloud-based Digital Preservation platform to support the continuous
acquisition, management, and long-term preservation of the Library's diverse
and expanding digital collections - including e-books, e-journals, sound
recordings, UK websites, eTheses, digitised heritage materials and more -
strengthening its ability to safeguard digital content for future generations.

"Robust and secure Digital Preservation is essential for the effective
custodianship, management and long-term readability of modern digital library
collections," said Dr Maureen Pennock, Head of Digital Collection Management
at the British Library. "Preservica's proven Digital Preservation platform and
project implementation expertise stood out in our selection process,
especially for our exceptionally diverse, large-scale and growing digital
collection. This investment restores and strengthens our long-term digital
collecting capability."

The British Library is one of the largest libraries in the world, holding more
than 170 million items and adding approximately three million new items
annually. Under the Legal Deposit Libraries (Non-Print Works) Regulations
2013, the Library continuously acquires a growing volume of digital content.

"National libraries operate at an extraordinary scale and responsibility,"
said Mike Quinn, CEO of Preservica. "They depend on secure, deep domain
expertise and robust infrastructure built for longevity. We are proud to
support the British Library with a preservation environment designed to
protect and sustain the UK's published and documentary heritage for
generations."

The British Library joins other major national and research libraries,
including the New York Public Library, (https://pr.report/j7sx)  the Library
and Archives of Canada (LAC) and the National Library of Australia,
(https://pr.report/j7sy)  that use Preservica's Active Digital Preservation
platform to support enterprise-grade, long-term stewardship of digital
collections.

About the British Library

We are the national library of the UK and we are here for everyone. Our
shelves hold over 170 million items - a living collection that gets bigger
every day. Although our roots extend back centuries, we aim to collect
everything published in the UK today, tomorrow and far into the future. Our
trusted experts care for this collection and open it up for everyone to spark
new discoveries, ideas and to help people do incredible things.

We have millions of books, and much more besides. Our London and Yorkshire
sites hold collections ranging from newspapers and maps to sound recordings,
patents, academic journals, as well as a copy of every UK domain website and
blog. Our public spaces provide a place to research, to meet friends, to start
up a new business or simply to get inspired by visiting our galleries and
events. We work with partners and libraries across the UK and the world to
make sure that as many people as possible have the chance to use and explore
our collections, events and expertise. And we're always open online, along
with more and more of our digitised collection. See: www.bl.uk
