DLF Forum 2015

Archivematica is an OAIS-based suite of open-source tools used to perform ingest and preservation actions on born-digital and digitized holdings. AtoM, or Access to Memory, is an open-source application used to display digital objects and descriptive metadata online. The two applications can be used as stand-alone tools or as an integrated end-to-end system to preserve and provide access to institutional holdings. Lead by AtoM Product Manager Dan Gillean and Systems Archivist Sarah Romkey from Artefactual Systems, this hands-on workshop will cover using the web-based Archivematica dashboard to ingest sample content, take digital preservation actions on that content, and display and describe the content in AtoM. Use cases will include both born-digital and digitized materials in multiple file formats. We will also cover the basics of the Open Archival Information System (OAIS) and discuss how open standards such as METS, PREMIS, Dublin Core, ISAD(G) and EAD are used by the open-source software community. This workshop is restricted to a maximum of 40 participants. Participants are requested to bring laptops with them.
