Abstract

This paper aims to identify and summarise the challenges of preserving the outputs of design universities in institutional repositories (IRs) and share the developments and lessons learned from similar fields’ successful projects. For traditional academic disciplines, metadata models and standards are well-developed for publication and preservation practices. Research in this area is presently underrepresented in academia; furthermore, the collections tend to be scattered or hidden. In the last fifteen years, preserving works in repositories has become one of the central issues in design institutions. This study examines the problems and other collections’ responses to these challenges — observations which can be utilised in the field of design where it is difficult to make visible and present the values created in design.
