Welcome to the Merritt documentation wiki.

This wiki is the place for public documentation about Merritt.

Merritt is the digital preservation repository for the University of California, available to libraries, academic departments, laboratories and other organizational units within UC. It is designed using the principles of microservices, with the expertise of the California Digital Library. Access to content is restricted to individuals with Merritt accounts. Merritt provides multiple methods for deposit and retrieval, via its UI and API. It is file-format agnostic, supports multiple metadata formats and provides preservation functions and reporting during submission, and while content resides in the repository. Merritt's preservation features include unique identifiers (in partnership with EZID), replication across multiple cloud storage services, continuous audits and collection analysis.
