- Join the Mailing List - to particpate in discussions, get your questions answered, commiserate, just lurk.
- Contribute to the knowledge base - Contribute your favorite references, your experiences, tools, standards, relevant documents, etc. If you have a contribution and you are not sure where it fits, contact our wiki gardener. If you don't already have an account give yourself one .
- The DuraPres Preservation and Archiving blog provides a vehicle for open exchange of ideas and initiatives. The blog was established by the DuraSpace Preservation and Archiving Solution Community which offers a community framework to develop and support the preservation needs of users of repository platforms. Note the challenge on the blog to do a self-assessment of your repository to determine if it is a trusted repository.
