without exaggeration I've been trying to get these updates made to the NARA transfer guidance since July 2020 and FINALLY. I am going to frame this https://www.archives.gov/records-mgmt/memos/ac-35-2022
NDSA Levels of Preservation Reboot Project Implementation Subgroup Survey
We hope you might take the time to complete the following survey & let us know what you think of the Levels, especially what you like most about them, & where they might need a rethink. And please note, the survey isnโt just for those people who are already using the NDSA Levels. If you donโt intend to use them or have decided they donโt meet your needs we are also interested in hearing from you.
Opened up the FRED all of 3 times this week, but finally have found the ideal zip tie situation to keep the cord for the imaging shelf from getting stuck ๐ https://digipres.club/media/Lt7elEo8-NSx7GGuKfo
advice: what would you assign someone as some good primer readings on digital preservation & digital forensics? This is for a current MLIS student who hasn't taken any courses in this area yet. cc @amelish
apparently the file system on the disks was unreadable by FTK when imaging was attempted in 2015 ๐ฌ
I think there was a discussion on here a few weeks ago (@ron_houk @edsu maybe?) about the all-virtual anthropological conference happening...JHU hosted the website and provided technical support, so now a discussion is starting about how we're going to preserve & provide access to the conference environment (recorded video of the conference, website, twitter feed, etc.)
web archiving folks: do you/how do you document decisions such as collection scope rules? I'm struggling with the transparency/authority of such decisions, like: who decided to block this subdomain, when, and why? Where should that info live? cc @sabrams @amelish @landlibrarian @joe
