Administrative Information

Separated Materials

Publications were removed from the records and added to the Published Documents Collection (Record Series 1801-92).

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. CloneSpy was used to filter and log duplicate files. Duplicate files and non-record material were deleted. Spider2008 PII Scan and DtSearch were used to screen for personal and sensitive information. DROID was used to identify file formats, extract metadata, and facilitate processing decisions. ReNamer was used to remove and log problematic characters from file names. Files were then logged and transferred using Robocopy to preservation storage.
