Formats

BDEARS provides ongoing support for as many file formats as possible with the institutional resources that are available. Works deposited in the institutional repository will be preserved using best practices for data management and digital preservation. The proprietary or executable nature of some file formats, however, may make it impossible to guarantee persistent access to all deposited works as digital technologies evolve. See the BDEARS Preservation Policy for more specific information on preservation policies and categories of support for file formats.
