5. Archiving

The Swedish Legal Deposit Act^<24> does not cover online documents. At present the possibility is being examined how to collect those documents with Swedish connections. In the meantime, an agreement^<25> was set up in September 2001 between the Royal Library and Uppsala University where the long-term preservation of electronic publications from Uppsala University is guaranteed. Regarding doctoral theses this is particularly important if the printed edition falls short of around 30 copies, which is the current limit for legal deposits used by the Royal Library as far as printed documents are concerned. The full-text files from the DiVA Archive (currently in PDF) are sent to the Royal Library for archiving together with the full DiVA Document Format file containing all metadata.
