11. Acknowledgments

The Digital Curation Centre is supported by a grant from the UK Joint Information Systems
Committee (JISC) and the UK e-Science Core Programme of the Engineering and Physical
Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). We are grateful to Niklaus Butikofer, formerly of the
Swiss Federal Archives, who is working with us to define the DCC's audit and certification
working practices, for discussions. We wish to thank Robin Dale of RLG, and David Giaretta
of the DCC and Principal Investigator in CASPAR³¹ for discussion and for providing us
with early access to the RLG/NARA Checklist [8]. We are grateful to Stefan Strathmann,
Gottingen State and University Library (Germany) who kindly supplied us with an early
draft of the nestor audit and certification guidelines [6]. Hans Hofman of the Dutch National
Archives has over the past couple of years shared crucial thinking with us in this area, and
we are beginning to work with him in the context of the European Union funded Sixth
Framework Programme activity DigitalPreservationEurope³² (DPE) (FP6 priority
IST-2005-2.5.10 contract number: IST 034762) to take repository audit and certification
initiatives forward in the European context. Some DPE partners are also partners in DCC and
nestor. Helen Hockx-yu (JISC) and Helen Tibbo of the University of North Carolina kindly
offered valuable comments of the penultimate draft of the article. The opinions are those of
the authors.
