Title:     The TRIUMF document archiving project with UBC Library's cIRcle and Digital Initiatives offices

Abstract: cIRcle is the University of British Columbia's digital repository for research and teaching materials created by the UBC community and its partners. Materials in cIRcle are openly accessible to anyone on the web, and will be preserved for future generations. The UBC Library Digitization Centre embraces new technologies, methods of access, workflows and preservation strategies while building sustainable digital collections to support and enrich the educational, cultural and economic endeavors of the University, the people of British Columbia and communities beyond.  

TRIUMF has collaborated with UBC cIRcle and Digital Initiatives to start digitally preserving important laboratory documents that exist in print only, starting with all the Brown Reports and Annual Reports. In this presentation, UBC Library will briefly cover their digital mission and services and then specifically elaborate on the TRIUMF project, including digitization, workflow, metadata, and searching.  The talk will end with a demo of the Open Collections digital library.
