Software Preservation Network

The Software Preservation Network (SPN) is a leading organization established to advance software preservation through collective action. Guided by the belief that software is critical information infrastructure, SPN works to create a space in which organizations and individuals from cultural heritage, industry, academia, government, and the public sphere can contribute their myriad skills and capabilities toward collaborative solutions that will provide persistent access to software and software-dependent data.
Vision and Mission: The Software Preservation Network is a coordinated, distributed effort to ensure long term access to software through community engagement, infrastructure support, and knowledge generation.
FS Model: Model A, Comprehensive Fiscal Sponsorship
Educopia is an integral support system for Software Preservation Network, and has been from SPN’s earliest days and through every transitional period. As SPN works to raise awareness of software preservation as key cultural heritage infrastructure and build shared knowledge of software preservation in practice, Educopia provides critical community facilitation and outreach support that allows our community to focus on our collective mission.
