The Alabama Digital Preservation Network (ADPN)The Alabama Digital Preservation Network (ADPNet) is a distributed digital preservation network for locally created digital content. It represents a low-cost digital preservation solution for academic institutions, state agencies, and cultural heritage organizations in Alabama.
Any Alabama institution with digital collections that are freely available to the public is invited to join ADPNet and use the network for archival preservation. ADPNet is a Private LOCKSS Network (PLN). This means that the archived content is accessible only to the members and only if it is needed to restore content lost as the result of a mishap or natural disaster.
ADPNet is a program of the Network of Alabama Academic Libraries. A steering committee with representatives from each ADPNet member institution sets policy and manages the network.
