WestVault update for COPPUL members

The COPPUL Digital Stewardship Network (CDSN) Standing Committee and Preservation Infrastructure Working Group (PIWG) has made a recommendation to COPPUL leadership on the future of WestVault. Due to a number of factors, the CDSN has determined that it is no longer feasible to continue to operate this service and we will be implementing a pause on data deposits and new subscriptions for 2024-25. In the coming months we will be working with our existing subscribers to begin planning for migration of the network’s content. Please note that the LOCKSS network and user content is stable, and users will not be charged subscription fees as we begin the process of winding down WestVault operations.
