A member obligation is to commit to archive your content with an archiving organization.  You are encourage to include information about your designated archive in your metadata.  This helps us work with archives to ensure your DOIs continue to resolve to your content.

The archives listed in our deposit schema are:

• CLOCKSS
• LOCKSS
• Portico
• KB
• Internet Archive
• DWT

Please contact support@crossref.org if you archive with an organization that is not listed.
