https://qanda.digipres.org/tag/preservation-masters Powered by Question2Answer https://qanda.digipres.org/1001/strategy-for-preserving-scanned-files-outside-repository We have undertaken various digitisation projects the past couple of &nbsp;years; each item digitised has resulted in output in TIFF, JPEG and PDF formats, with up to 600 or so TIFFs/JPEGs for some items.<br /> <br /> We have loaded the PDF files into our research repository. However, our repository software does not accommodate too well more than a dozen or so files at the most for each record. So we need to find an alternative mechanism for storing at least the TIFF files (the JPEGs and PDFs can always be regenerated again from the TIFFs). Currently, we have 3 copies of each of the files stored on our local network (as well as whatever system backups occur), until we can figure out a more permanent preservation strategy.<br /> <br /> We're now at the point where we want to figure out that more permanent strategy. The PDF files in the repository will remain the primary access point. Can anyone suggest a suitable approach/software for the preservation masters? https://qanda.digipres.org/1001/strategy-for-preserving-scanned-files-outside-repository Wed, 01 Jul 2015 04:05:52 +0000
