The Keepers Registry provides easily accessible information on the archiving of electronic journals, reporting on who is looking after what.  Aggregating data from 13 archiving organisations, it provides information about the archiving arrangements for over 30000 titles.

The “Keepers” are the participating archiving agencies which are acting as stewards of digital content. Each of these agencies runs a programme for the archiving of e-journals and is making metadata on the journals in their programme available to the Keepers Registry.

The Registry has three main purposes:

· To enable librarians and policy makers to find out who is looking after which e-journal, how and with what terms of access.

· To highlight the e-journals which are still "at risk of loss".

· To showcase the organisations (the keepers) which act as digital shelves for access over the long term.

The Keepers Registry is free to use.  All users can search and browse the service, but registration is required to access the Title List Comparison service and the API which are accessed via the Member Services area.

The Keepers Registry was developed by EDINA and the ISSN International Centre in Paris, and is funded by Jisc.
