Ithaca NY A few months ago, DuraSpace, an independent 501(c)(3) not-for-profit
organization, launched its 2011 Sponsorship Program to engage leaders from
university and library communities in supporting the common goal of ensuring
that our scholarly record of digital content and data is saved and accessible
for future generations.
Program Update
DuraSpace is pleased to report that we currently have 50 organizations that
have chosen to become sponsors this years. Of the 50 organizations
participating so far this year, 16 are new sponsors.
It is not too late to for your institution to make a difference. We invite any
organizations to make the decision to invest in our shared mission of the
preservation of our collective digital heritage. While we have $285,500 in
sponsorship money pledged so far and well on our way to our $350,000 goal, we
still need help to get there. Please consider joining with us at the Gold,
Silver, Bronze or, if you prefer, our new “Friend of DuraSpace” level. If your
organization uses Paypal, there is now an on-line process for becoming a
Sponsor. Otherwise, you can complete the Sponsor Form and email it to Valorie
