About the POWRR Tool Grid

The POWRR Tool Grid v2 provides a set of interactive views designed to help practitioners identify and select tools that they need to solve digital preservation challenges. Everything in the Grid is hyperlinked, so simply click through the displays until you find the information you are looking for. Clicking on the name of a specific preservation tool will reveal more detail on the COPTR wiki. As well as the main Tool Grid (that makes navigation more manageable) there is also an Ubergrid that lists every tool in every content category against every function.

This Grid is based on the Tool Grid first developed by the Digital POWRR Project, and combines the form and function of the original POWRR grid with the far greater coverage of tools provided by the COPTR data feed.

How does the POWRR Tool Grid work?

The POWRR Tool Grid is re-generated nightly from the contents of the COPTR wiki. If you have any changes or additions to the data in the Grid, sign up for the COPTR wiki and make your contributions there.
