Abstract
  • This paper addresses the topic of institutional repositories (IRs) at research universities in the United States and the inclusion of digital archival content in those repositories. Although recent literature suggests that most university IRs include some archival content, the role of university archives and special collections in populating IRs remains unclear. Sampling from Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching's list of 199 "Research Universities," I conducted 19 qualitative interviews with university archivists and digital archivists to determine to what extent archivists are using IRs to store and present digital archival content, what types of content they choose to include, what other systems they have put in place to deal with digitized and born digital records, and what affects their decision making. This study helps elucidate what factors influence use and nonuse of IRs for archival content and identifies some current trends in practice related to university archives and IRs.
