Administrative Information

Processing Note

According to legacy practice, electronic files were burned on a compact disc from network storage for transfer to archives. Disc images were then captured and files moved to network storage with regular fixity checks. Spider2008 PII Scan and DtSearch were used to screen for sensitive information. DROID was used to identify file formats, extract metadata, and facilitate processing decisions. Files were then logged and transferred using Robocopy to preservation storage.
