We receive independent copies of journal content from publishers, which we then host on servers at the University of Toronto Libraries and preserve in our Trustworthy Digital Repository (TDR).

Preservation rights for eresources hosted by SP include local load, perpetual access, and transformation rights, allowing us to migrate content to other formats as technology becomes obsolete, extending access long into the future.
