Summary of Solicitation's Scope
The Library of Congress, hereinafter referred to as the “Library” or “LOC”,” is exploring innovative preservation methods for its digital collections. The LOC is seeking to determine the feasibility of utilizing synthetic DNA data storage for the long-term preservation of a subset of the Library-s digital collections. Currently, the Library manages over 1 billion unique objects of digital preservation data (
31 petabytes) via traditional storage methods. For redundancy, it may be reasonable for this portion of data to be permanently stored on a less accessible medium, like synthetic DNA. The Library aims to demonstrate the feasibility of DNA as a high-density, scalable, and durable medium for digital data storage.
At this time, the Library wishes to examine the feasibility of this method on a small subset of its digital collections. To be successful, a variety of data formats—including video, audio, text, and images— must be encoded onto synthetic DNA, errors must be detected/recorded, preservation techniques must be validated and select data must be recalled/read with high fidelity. This work will contribute to the growing field of DNA-based data storage while pushing the boundaries of access and preservation.
The Library-s contracted services will support desired outcomes, including:
The successful writing of 1.5GB of the Library-s digital data in various formats (video, audio, images, text) onto synthetic DNA. To determine the accuracy of the synthetic DNA writing process (error detection) without having to read each batch in full. The documentation of successful processes, shortcomings, error rates, timelines, potential solutions, risks, trends, and technological improvements throughout the period of performance as they pertain to synthetic DNA data storage. Proof of concept for the potential indefinite storage approach of the Library-s data on synthetic DNA. The successful recall and reading o... - Documents:
