In addition, if you are using IdentityFinder, how are you making it work? We have been unable to get the "scrub" function to work in our copy. If you are using some other tool, what is it?

When to redact AIPs vs DIPs in digital archives workflows?

Tools like bitcurator are integrating processes for redacting information from disk images. So, not just identifying information that you might want to use to make aprasial decisions about what to keep but also the ability to directly redact information from files. I know some folks are planning on using those tools that auto locate personal info and then redacting files or redacting information from inside files.

Given that we have (at least in theory) Archival Information Packages and Disimenation Information packages we could be redacting, when should archivists be redacting the archival copy and when do we want to just be redacting the access materials? If one has information that is sensitive now but would be useful and non-sensitive in 50 years? Or, is the threat of mantaining sensitive information and multiple copies of materials too significant to warrent such an approach? Or, is this something that is going to depend on the particular issues in a collection. If the answer is "it depends" what is it that it depends on?
