Print Archives Registry

As a general survey of the landscape of North American print archiving initiatives, CRL is developing a searchable Print Archives Registry called PAPR. PAPR includes information about Print archive projects and their serial holdings. For each print archive project, the Print Archive Registry includes a narrative description and specific characteristics such as Format Archived, and Retention Period, with a link to the host institution for more information.Browse Database »


The Print Archives Registry includes general descriptions of the holdings for some projects, currently including:


  • Center for Research Libraries (CRL)
  • Five Colleges, Inc. (MA)
  • Orbis-Cascade Alliance
  • Pennsylvania Academic Library Consortium, Inc. (PALCI)
  • Triangle Research Libraries Network (TRLN)
  • Greater Western Library Alliance (GWLA)
  • Portico (digital archive)
  • CLOCKSS (digital archive)


This Print Archives Registry is part of CRL’s effort to support regional and national level print archiving efforts throughout North America.  For more information about the Print Archives Registry or to submit holdings data, please contact Amy Wood, Technical Services librarian,  awood at crl dot edu.
