ERA: Education & Research Archive

The removal of an item from ERA once it is deposited is generally discouraged. However, items will be temporarily taken down under the following scenarios until a determination is made to either restore or permanently remove the item:

• A copyright dispute emerges requiring investigation.
• There is any question from one or more authors or creators over whether the item should be placed in ERA.

Items will be removed immediately if: 

• We become aware of any illegal activity facilitated by an item in ERA.
• An ERA item is used for internet nuisance activity by a user, such as to spam others.

From time to time, new digital environments emerge which are more well-suited to content which has been deposited in ERA. When this occurs, we will work with depositors and communities to create successful migration experiences to these new environments and ensure that our Library's commitment to outstanding service guides our work. We will always weigh these decisions carefully and design migration plans in consideration of any affected end-users and communities.
