Meeting Time

Initial meeting: May 8, 2014, 10:00-11:30am, PCL 3.204

Standing weekly meeting for evaluation period: Thursdays, 10:00am - 11:00am, location varies.

Goals

  • Setting up a generic workflow so that the group can evaluate the tool for use in members' repositories.

  • Complete evaluation of the tool within 6-8 weeks from the date of the first AWG meeting.

  • Create a list of possible feature requests for Artefactual Systems based on our evaluation of the tool.

Background

Several repositories on campus have been interested in Archivematica for some time. Ladd has received inquiries about a test instance for evaluation.

Until recently, Archivematica has been in beta release mode. Now that 1.0 has been released, it seems an appropriate time to investigate the tool further.

Lisa Snider, Electronic Records Archivist at the HRC, has 4 years of experience using Archivematica.

Assumptions

  • Archivematica will streamline/partially automate the creation of archival and dissemination information packages (AIPs and DIPs)
  • It's point-and-click interface (post-customization) will allow for faster training of digital archives interns/assistants than previous command-line processing tools, and simultaneously allow the respository to provide a higher level of service.
