0 Time Travelling Analyst: The Things That Only a Time Machine Can Tell Me... /slideshow/time-travelling-analyst-the-things-that-only-a-time-machine-can-tell-me/52511536 rspencer-aranz-time-travelling-analyst-150907211428-lva1-app6892
My time at Archives New Zealand has been my first, truly hands-on experience with born-digital collections. Material transferred in 2008 containing files created over the period of an entire decade has been the focus of my first born-digital ingests with the organisation. The work in the Systems Standards and Strategies team (SSS) at Archives New Zealand has been split into two initial sets of ingests, one set of two followed by another; the idea: to create processes and develop them incrementally. My surprise after the first two ingests back in late November and December 2014, is that five months into the next two, we're still finding challenges - daily! With only the slightest nod to digital preservation and my title as digital preservation analyst, this paper discusses more the difficulties of wrestling core information received from agencies, organizational issues, and the tools available to us in this agency. Organizations and records managers have an opportunity to make recommendations to their users that can ensure issues are minimized when we place records into long- term preservation, and over the next few years we'll collect plenty of evidence to see the number of surprises reduced, but it is this author's assertion that despite best efforts, we're always going to receive badly behaved digital material for reasons not always foreseen, and that, despite concerted efforts at control, any agency receiving born-digital material must be prepared to understand it, and must also be prepared to manage it through different mitigation strategies - depending on appetite. This paper will introduce the challenges faced while processing the organization’s first born-digital material looking at where the issues arose and why, before concluding that we must learn by doing, and that the collection of evidence and understanding 'real world' scenarios is our best opportunity to reduce surprises even if we can’t reduce them to zero.]]>

The Digital Continuity team at Archives New Zealand is an active participant in community discussion and outreach. Knowledge and capability is built through different channels which enables others to observe from, and learn from, the work we do internally. These channels set an example and provide a setting for others to talk about their work and impart their knowledge. In a period of time that sees digital at the forefront of the archivist’s concerns, this paper discusses some of the physical and digital channels we promote that enables this cross-pollination of ideas to help ensure the longevity of the digital material entering our collections. We look at our use of blogging, Twitter, interest groups, discussion forums and the importance of simply being open and receptive to queries from organisations and individuals across and outside of government. We conclude by placing our efforts in the light of recent work by the team to support the extract and appraisal of legacy digital documents from otherwise obsolete carrier mediums for other government agencies. Through the use of demonstration and mentoring we can help teams develop workflows and capability to do this work for themselves and to share the knowledge with others; building a strong foundation for the future. Such examples emphasise the importance of being able to meet people face-to-face, and the importance of word-of-mouth communication in disseminating all of our works across communities. The paper demonstrates a need for ad hoc digital preservation, and continuity advice. Lessons from which we can learn once and apply many times. Through community we share this knowledge, through community we receive and reuse it.]]>
