4.3.4 Provide evidence of the effectiveness of its preservation activities

4.3.4 - The repository shall provide evidence of the effectiveness of its preservation activities.

The effectiveness of:

• the business activities of the CLOCKSS Archive is evidenced in CLOCKSS: Business History and in the Board minutes,
• the financial activities of the CLOCKSS Archive is evidenced in CLOCKSS: 2013-2018 Budget and in the Board minutes,
• the technical activities of the CLOCKSS Archive is evidenced in the CLOCKSS Triggered Content (see below) and in the external and internal reports described in [[CLOCKSS: Logging and Records].

At intervals during the history of the CLOCKSS archive publishers have, for various reasons, asked the CLOCKSS board to trigger their content. The contents re-published by the 8 trigger events so far are available here. It is to be expected that these occasional trigger events will continue, each demonstrating the effectiveness of the CLOCKSS archive in preserving content and when directed to do so making it freely available under Creative Commons licenses.
