The repository shall have a Preservation Strategic Plan that defines the approach the repository will take in the long-term support of its mission.

This is necessary in order to help the repository make administrative decisions, shape policies, and allocate resources in order to successfully preserve its holdings.

Preservation Strategic Plan; meeting minutes; documentation of administrative decisions which have been made.

The strategic plan should be based on the organization’s established mission, and on its defined values, vision and goals. Strategic plans typically cover a particular finite time period, normally in the 3-5 year range.

The following documents can be found on the Policies page.

The Strategic Plan and Vision Mission and Shared Values documents outline the strategic plan and core principles agreed upon by the APTrust Membership from 2021-2026. 

Other evidence of maintaining our Strategic Plan goals include the Core Preservation Services Policy, Succession Policy, and the Preservation & Storage page.
