(Transfer type) • how large should my archival packages be? • will my archival packages have a 1:1 relationship with my transferred digital content? will my content be arranged into multiple packages or combined into one? (Arrangement workflow)
- 10. May 14, 2015 Hot Topics: DuraSpace Community Webinar Series Prepare your content for ArchivesDirect ● DuraCloud Sync Tool is the easiest way to make your content available to process in ArchivesDirect ○ Sync Tool works by “watching” a directory on your computer or server ● Archivematica understands content in directories ○ It will use one directory to create a “space” to find transfer content ○ Content for preservation must be inside directories also 1 Sync Tool Directory + 2 Archivematica Directories = 3 directory layers for your content
- 11. May 14, 2015 Hot Topics: DuraSpace Community Webinar Series Prepare your content for ArchivesDirect Sync Tool Watched Directory contains “transfers” directory, which contains material for preservation within directories
- 12. May 14, 2015 Hot Topics: DuraSpace Community Webinar Series Case Study 1: digitized content Scenario: ○ Institution has digitized master images provided by a vendor and has the following goals: ■ Preserve the digitization masters in an AIP ■ Create a DIP using Archivematica’s Normalization functionality ■ Include Dublin Core metadata in both the AIP and DIP
- 13. May 14, 2015 Hot Topics: DuraSpace Community Webinar Series Case Study 1: digitized content How to prepare this content for ArchivesDirect: ● Prepare a metadata.csv file using Archivematica instructions ● Place all digital content in directory called “objects” (subdirectories ok too) and metadata.csv in a directory called “metadata” Full directory paths for Sync Tool: /duraspace/transfers/Collection name/objects/file1.tif, etc /duraspace/transfers/Collection name/metadata/metadata.csv
- 14. May 14, 2015 Hot Topics: DuraSpace Community Webinar Series Case Study 2: born digital content Scenario: ○ The institution has some content from a donor or another department which it wishes to preserve in AIPs. The access situation is unclear, but the institution would like to make access copies, “just in case”.
- 15. May 14, 2015 Hot Topics: DuraSpace Community Webinar Series Case Study 2: born digital content ● Before “syncing” the content consider: ○ Is the structure as transferred from the creator important? It can be retained in the AIP. ○ Are there logical groupings within the collection to make transfers from? Must the whole collection be one transfer? If so, how large is it? ● Move the content to your watched directory, or configure the sync tool to watch its current location
- 16. May 14, 2015 Hot Topics: DuraSpace Community Webinar Series Readiness for digital preservation Other factors to consider: 1. Has your institution thought about writing a digital preservation policy? 2. Are you preparing to have a TRAC audit or self-audit? 3. Do you have the hardware/software to make safe acquisitions from donors (write blocker, digital forensics tools?) 4. Do you have a donation form that is appropriate for born-digital content?

Next webinar, 5/26/15, will cover: ● How to process content in Archivematica ● Both of our case study workflows ● Helpful Archivematica micro-services and features ● Accessing/downloading AIPs stored through ArchivesDirect
