Saving original carriers after transfer of digital files

  • 1.  Saving original carriers after transfer of digital files

    Posted 2 days ago

    Hi All,

    I'm posting the below message on behalf of my Director of Preservation. Feel free to respond here or email her directly. It would be incredibly helpful to hear what you all are doing at your institutions!

    Hello: We are reviewing local practices in my institution, including revising and updating transfer workflows. I'm wondering if the community is saving original carriers after transfer of digital files onto a Cloud based repository. Is there a general consensus about this or, better yet, guidelines that have been published to help us with our decision making?
     
    Feel free to reach out to me offline if that works better for you. I am happy to anonymize and share with the full list.
    Thanks in advance for any information you can provide - Emily Holmes (eh2124@columbia.edu)
