Description (en)
Our poster will reflect our recent efforts to understand the workflows and policies needed for the long-term preservation of code, annotations, and other scholarly ephemera from Git hosting platforms. We undertook an environmental scan of the existing processes and tools for capturing and actively archiving Git data and their associated, supplemental materials. We will present the results of this broad environmental scan, covering a wide variety of approaches, organizations, and workflows that could possibly be used to create a baseline on which to build and expand archival tools. Our efforts are geared toward acquiring, archiving, and providing permanent access to source code, and the materials around it, and argue that the whole should be considered part of the scholarly record.
