Overview

Registry of Digital Masters

A central location for digital preservation masters

The Digital Library Foundation/OCLC Registry of Digital Masters provides a central place for library staff to search for, and find, digitally preserved materials. As such, the Registry broadens access to your organization’s publicly-available digital books and journals. The Digital Library Federation (DLF) and OCLC developed the Registry, which functions as a subset of WorldCat.

To be included in the Registry, an item must appear in a digital format. Typical items include monographs and serials. A registered object ensures that the digital object (or soon to be digitized) followed established standards and best practices for digitization and that the institution that digitized it has made a commitment to digital preservation of this object.
