Contribute Your Experiences

To be useful, COPTR needs your help to update existing records as tools change, or to reflect your experiences using the tools. We also need new records for any new or missing tools you think are useful and we'd love to host more digital preservation workflows so we can learn more how these tools are used in context. You can find out more about how you can get involved here.

Editing this wiki requires a user account, but due to problems with spam, you have to get in touch with us to request an account.
