making sure that transfer process can happen before researchers retire, to have the data access and archiving as part of
their workflow so that they, their field, and the world benefit from their research.
Directly from faculty, Archives and Special Collections.
For Dataverse, the data include both primary data and data compiled from secondary sources.
Raw data, active storage.
We are doing outreach to near retirement age faculty to get them to review their research history and identify data sets,
grey lit, and other files that should be ingested in a repository (or digitized and then ingested).
Data Archives
Many other sources, e.g., campus planners have indicated interest in depositing their data with us. Interest also from
archives and other agencies, e.g., government.

2 GB. The http protocol limit of 2 GB often serves as a ceiling to what is feasible to deposit in either DSpace or
Dataverse.
50 MB and then must ask permission.
If researcher expects to have project files (data and other files) totally more than 500 GB, we ask them to talk to us to
devise a custom solution.
