In April 2010, the popular microblogging service, Twitter, announced the donation of their archives to the Library of Congress. This event served to validate the value of microblogs as a source for scholarly research, yet access to the Twitter archives by the public continues to remain restricted. This study seeks to understand how the data repository community can be leveraged to support and maintain access to microblog data for long-term use. Through the examination of a sample Twitter aggregation, significant properties for preservation will be identified and applied to current standards and criteria set by data repositories for deposit. The analysis of data repository functions and the properties of the microblog aggregation provides further awareness into the preservation practices and policies of these social memory institutions while also illuminating recommendations for advancing these retention strategies and approaches.
