"Why do we have three repositories?" This is an over-simplified version of a question that a working group at Duke University Libraries (DUL) found themselves asking (and in some cases returning to) last year. A supremely helpful member of this working group produced an impeccable 24-page timeline detailing the history of repositories at Duke, beginning with the very first collection launch in 1995. Pulling the greatest hits from our colleague's impressive timeline, this presentation will take attendees on a journey through repositories at DUL, with a bit of bragging about wins, invitation to commiserate about shared challenges, and sincere reflection with an eye towards the future.
