AB  - Purpose– This paper seeks to record a collaborative project in the management of legacy collections.Design/methodology/approach– The eight New Zealand university libraries have a history of collaboration and sought a shared storage solution. It was agreed that a single copy of low‐use print serials would, in most cases, be sufficient for the country's research communities. The libraries have chosen to outsource storage to a commercial provider with facilities throughout the country.Findings– The paper describes the background to the New Zealand situation, the process of reaching this decision and the challenges of implementation across a group of libraries, including the rationalisation of the eight collections to retain a single shared copy.Originality/value– The case is relevant to library consortia undertaking collection management projects.
