| Abstract: | Digital curation is an integral part of the digital humanities, and the future of the digital humanities will increasingly depend on the digital resources being made available through institutional repositories and other platforms. The digital humanities depend on the digital form of the information, so it is really important to curate them carefully so that our future generations can easily use them and get maximum benefit. This study aims to gather data regarding the digital curation practices followed in the institutional repositories (IRs) of North-East India and also highlights the tools used to curate the digital content by the IRs. It also tries to understand the potential of IR software to curate digital materials. The online survey was conducted among 13 universities that had implemented IRs in their libraries, and the response rate was 76.92%. The findings show that most of the IR in North-East India followed digital curation practices, though not fully, at least to some extent. |
