THE DIGITAL ARCHIVING OF THE AERI 2013 WEBSITE:A GROUP PROJECT NICOLE FELDMAN, LAUREN GAYLORD, AMYE MCCARTHER, JIM RIZKALLA
OUR ARCHIVING APPROACH • Website • Widgets and Outlinks • Supporting Documentation
Setbacks & Solutions • Write-blocker cable not available. • New Zealand Metadata Harvester not opening. • New Zealand XML not compatible with Dspace. • Manually compiling metadata. • Preparing file directory for ingest.
Zip It!Retaining Order as Received • Removing sensitive materials. • Documenting which folders were removed. • Zipping contributor file directories to retain structure. • Manually ingesting zipped files.
Our Trials and Travails • Cognitive apprehension of the notion of an invisible repository • Defining the scope (e.g. emails) • Resource availability and access • Scheduling and time constraints • Gathering materials from creators • Technical difficulties
Conclusions • Work collaboratively with IT staff at your institution. Do not be afraid to ask questions! • Articulate a scalable and clearly defined archival strategy at the onset of your project, but be flexibleand open to improvisation.
