"Institutional repository models: what works and what doesn't."
Born under the influence of the Open Access (OA) movement, Institutional Repositories (IRs) for digital content are now all the rage; but whether or not they work depends on their raison d'etre. There are many things one can do with an IR. One can use it for content management, preservation, internal data-sharing, record-keeping; the content itself can be anything digital, whether courseware, "gray literature," multimedia, in-house publishing, or even bought-in 3rd-party content. None of this has anything whatsoever to do with OA, however. OA is about maximizing accessibility to institutional peer-reviewed research output in order to maximize its research impact (25%-250% of it lost if non-OA), thereby maximizing institutional research productivity and progress (and prestige and research revenue). OA content in IRs is so far very low (averaging less than 15% of annual research output) partly because OA has been eclipsed by the many other items on the IR wish-list, partly because even where it is the only item, wishing is not enough: not if librarians wish it, not even if researchers wish it. The two international UK JISC surveys have shown clearly exactly what is needed to fill IRs with their annual OA content: An extension of institutions' and research funders' "publish or perish" mandate to: "publish but also self-archive in your IR". The 5 institutions that so far have such a mandate (CERN, U. Southampton ECS, U. Minho, Queensland U. Tech, and U. Zurich) are well on their way to 100% OA. After a crashing failure by NIH to mandate immediate OA self-archiving, and a halting half-step by the Wellcome Trust (6-month embargo), Research Councils UK (RCUK) looks poised to do the right thing at last, and once it does, the rest of the world's research funders and institutions will follow suit. The race is now to the swift, the battle to the strong, for the 25%-250% OA impact advantage is partly a competitive advantage.

Im not sure if this is specifically a scroll repository, but it very well could be. These structures are common for housing treasures and scrolls. They are raised off the ground to protect from moisture.
Built in 947 to appease the spirit of Sugawara no Michizane, Kitano Tenmangu is an important Shinto shrine in the Kamigyo-ku area of Kyoto. It was one of 19 shrines chosen by the emperor to receive imperial messages which reported important information to the kami (spirits/gods). Today, the temple is most known for its plum trees. An annual ume festival is held here each February.

Horse repository, a store house where horses were bought and sold.
Established by Robert Stapleton in 1842 and probably would’ve dealt in the very strong draught horses that transported goods across London. Positioned opposite Spitalfields Market and close to Brick Lane’s Truman Brewery (est. 1666)

The Moravian Cemetery - Hillview Mausoleum
++ ++ ++ ++ ++
For over 250 years, the cemetery of choice for Staten Island families, as well as many people around the
tri-state area, has been the Moravian Cemetery. Widely recognized for its beautifully manicured grounds, lakeside view, and natural knolls and valleys, the non-sectarian cemetery offers a setting of beautiful serenity for all people. The Moravian Cemetery encompasses 113 acres, and is the property of the Moravian Church of Staten Island. Its newest development, "The Hillview Mausoleum," is part of a continuing tradition of expansion and improvement for the community.
It is a universal experience...that our loved one's final resting place becomes a precious niche in the world for us. Ideally, the environment of this special place should reflect the continuing beauty of our memories.
.
At the historic Moravian Cemetery, we respect the need for beauty in final resting place. Our non-sectarian cemetery is well-known as one of the most picturesque and impeccably maintained memorial sites in the
tri-state area. www.moraviancemetery.com/aboutus.htm
