Library Science Talk - Open and Automated Workflows for Preserving Digital Archives
At NC State University Libraries, the Special Collections Research Center leverages an integrated system of locally developed applications and open-source technologies to facilitate the long-term preservation of digitized and born-digital archival assets. These applications automate many previously manual tasks, such as creating access derivatives from preservation scans and ingest into preservation storage. They have allowed us to scale up the number of digitized assets we create and publish online; born-digital assets we acquire from storage media, appraise, and package; and total assets in local and distributed preservation storage. We will discuss our iterative approach to deploying these tools, the functionalities of each application, and sustainability considerations of managing in-house applications and using Academic Preservation Trust, a consortial effort, for offsite preservation.
