Abstract:
--
Excerpt:
If we want to enact this type of digital archaeology or digital preservation at larger scales- say, every file in that SEA package, or in every SEA package on that disk, or in that archive, or in the whole of the CCA Collection - we need to automate processes where we can. Luckily, we can use scripts and digital preservation software like Archivematica to handle tasks such as format identification, characterization, and normalization of the most common formats in batches, allowing us to spend our time on the difficult and interesting cases.
