Learning Objectives

This workshop will explore practical methods and tools to help archivists, librarians, and others dealing with digital records preservation build consistent and efficient processing workflows. Participants are encouraged to share specific procedural questions and concerns that may be addressed during the Q&A session. Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Identify the four main elements of an archival information packet (AIP);
  
• Specify which systems or tools will be used to compose an AIP and provide access to the processed records;
  
• Exhibit an understanding of the six main steps in processing digital records;
  
• Develop a processing plan for born digital records (supplied by instructor or from own institution);
  
• Demonstrate competence with three or more software tools used to arrange born-digital records and produce simple preservation metadata for those records;
  
• Arrange and describe a set of records to develop a single level-optimum archival description, as specified in Describing Archives: A Content Standard (DACS).

The workshop content will be broken into three sessions.  Participants will work in pairs on the following:

1. Forming an archival packet and tools to compose one (learning objectives one and two)

2. Processing workflows and planning (objectives three and four)

3. Processing implementation (objectives five and six)

The workshop is framed around specific actions archivists can take to get started preserving digital materials, establishing priorities, and workflows, as a means to be better understanding and building toward a long-term preservation plan.
