Abstract
One of the main and crucial strategic projects that any university, or an institution of higher learning, has been recently involved in is the creation and development of an institutional repository. The AMUR repository is an open web-based archive of scholarly material that originated in 2010 and has aggregated a collection of more than 12,000 diverse digital objects. This paper presents the types of grey literature that have been archived in the repository. The following key elements concerning grey digital objects are presented: policy of the repository, legal issues, standards for metadata and the language coverage. In addition, usage data are provided.
