In this presentation, we will elaborate on the insights that have gathered from our partnership with Iter Canada towards establishing a robust ecosystem for the long-term preservation of collaborative projects in the arts and humanities. As a work in progress, planning to address the current gap in preservation research affecting a specific academic domain, we will provide the preliminary results from our tests using containers and desktop-sharing systems for the preservation of content in collaborative environments in the digital humanities. In our opinion, the use of these technologies has the advantage of preserving and delivering snapshots of the original user experience in digital humanities projects as they were originally intended by their principal investigators
