ABOUT THE KEEP PROJECT
KEEP (Keeping Emulation Environments Portable) is developing emulation services (KEEP Emulation Services) to enable accurate rendering of both static and dynamic digital objects: text, sound, and image files; multimedia documents, websites, databases, videogames etc.
The overall aim of the project is to facilitate universal access to our cultural heritage by developing flexible tools for accessing, manipulating and storing a wide range of digital objects using emulation tools either to reproduce the original environment in which they were created or to enable those objects to be migrated accurately to another environment.
In addition to the development of a KEEP Emulation Framework, within which 3rd party emulators are hosted, the project is also supporting the development of a Virtual Machine which will permit other environments to operate independently of the actual software and hardware environments.
Now in its final year, KEEP is also running a series of workshops across Europe where we will share research outcomes and provide delegates with hands-on experience of our tools and services. More details about these can be found in our Events section.
Project KEEP is co-financed by the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research and technological development (FP7).
