| Description |
- Through professional communities and scholarly communication, archivists are building interinstitutional knowledge of born-digital processing. The Duke University Medical Center Archives (DUMCA) provides interns with the opportunity to engage with these efforts and design the repository’s born-digital workflows. Drawing on work by previous DUMCA intern Carter Hulinsky, Kayla Cavenaugh and Emma Eubank authored a pre-ingest guide for accessioned digital files. During this design process, they grappled with questions along the way: How do we relay standards and encourage judgement calls in a workflow used by high-turnover archivists who may be new to digital archiving? How do we integrate transparency in our processing decision-making as well as the materials with which users interact? How do we address HIPAA? In this session, we discuss these questions and our approach to the murky work of digital materials stewardship, and we hope to provide a communal space for attendees to share their digital archiving experiences.
