The course blog for Digital Preservation a graduate seminar at the University of Maryland. One of the explicit goals of this course is for us to develop as communicators on the public web. So please do join our conversation, but please do so respectfully. We are all learning how to do this together.
I find your archive a somewhat interesting case as a large number of the organizations we discus are non-profit, academic, and/or governmental organizations. Correct me if I am wrong, but this is a for profit company?
I find it for example rather interesting that much of the metadata necessary for preservation is to be provided before ingestion into the archive, and that much of that responsibility is contractually obligated. Are Librarians and Archivists consulted for the contract process?
