BitCurator for State Archives

Presented by: Cal Lee, School of Information and Library Science, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

BitCurator provides open source digital forensics tools and techniques that can help archives and other cultural heritage institutions ensure the reliability and longevity of digital files. Although it was initially developed for use with manuscripts collections, a growing number of state archives have determined that it fills numerous gaps in their electronic records processing workflows. This webinar will introduce the BitCurator environment and highlight how BitCurator can help state archives safeguard their electronic records, screen for and redact legally restricted information, and address other important concerns.

Audience(s): Archivist Practitioners, Archivist Managers

No technical expertise is needed; however, attendees should be familiar with the fundamentals of digital preservation.
