Description
An account of the resource
Gail Hodge asserts that the rapid dissemination of digital “objects” occurred with “little regard for the long-term preservation of digital information.” Given the nature of the digital world, her analysis is as relevant in 2015 as it was in 2000. In an environment where file deletion, corruption, or accessibility is a constant concern, Hodge provides a step-by-step process that outlines some best practices to avoid some of the pitfalls digital practitioners face. She argues that rapid technological advances require users to incorporate appropriate standards during the creative process. Without a systematic approach, preservation becomes problematic.
To address that issue, this study surveyed a variety of institutions including libraries, research institutions, and database publishers to gather information on what best practices had helped them confront these challenges. Hodge breaks the process down into six categories: creation, acquisition, metadata, storage, preservation, and access. In each aspect of the digital life-cycle, she gives practical advice on things such as determining what and what not to archive, copyright issues, hardware and software concerns, and migration issues. In regard to preservation, Hodge asserts that one of the most important aspects is to maintain the “look and feel” of the archive, despite what technological changes occur.

Personal Archives
Description
An account of the resource
This paper specifically examines personal digital record-keeping strategies, appraisal decisions, and identifications of value, as well as digital preservation practices from the perspective of Personal Information Management (PIM) studies. Through explorations of how people create, collect, organize, maintain, and (re)access digital information, PIM research complements our existing knowledge about personal digital records and reveals additional information about these materials heretofore undisclosed by archival scholarship. This paper suggests that a genuine understanding of the processes of records mediation in personal digital archives is integral to the discovery and exploitation of their requisite provenancial information.

Subject

Web archiving
Description
An account of the resource
The history of the web and the record of its impact on society may never fully be realized if measures to record and preserve its content are not carefully and consistently maintained. Leetaru identifies the inconsistencies in web archiving by public institutions, such as the Library of Congress, and commercial enterprises, such as the New York Times. He explains current trends for limiting the size of the “crawl” (ingesting web content into the archive) and the web site’s rate of change may not promote discovery of patterns and insights for future scholars and historians. Leetaru proposes web archiving institutions solicit the users and data miners for selecting and presenting the web archive’s content and developing the protocol for ingesting web artefacts.
In addition to increasing the collaboration of a broad web archiving community, Leetaru suggests web archives should also increase the visibility of its holdings and provide sufficient contextual information for the different versions and replacements of web content. Like Wikipedia’s chronology of updates and editions for each page of content, Leetaru believes a web archive should reveal the source code as well as origins of its content. In response to copyright restrictions and rights to privacy, he recommends “snapshots” and limiting algorithms to “surface-level analyses.” By opening access to the intellectual content of the web artefacts and simultaneously adhering to both property and technical standards, preservation of the web archive and the potential for future research can be assured.

Acts of Translation: Digital Humanities and the Archive Interface
Subject

Web archiving
Description
An account of the resource
Elish and Trettien argue the interface of digital collections transfers meaning through its design and acts as a metonym for the sponsoring web site. They scrutinize the visual interface and usability of three web sites housing large digitized collections and focus on the ideologies associated with the representation and mission of each site. By applying what they refer to as “visual epistemology,” Elish and Trettien identify the tools and visual markers that facilitate access to and navigation through three digital archives: NINES (Networked Infrastructure for Nineteenth-century Electronic Scholarship), “Objects of History” (George Mason University), and SFMOMA Art Scope (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art). Both presentation of the items and navigation through the site work in tandem to produce meaning, with the preferred result being a minimizing of the interface and a maximizing of the content. In this article, the authors underscore the “expressive potential of digital form” and offer a method for designing and critiquing digital archives.
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
At this formative moment in the field of Digital Humanities, this paper seeks to intervene with the question: how does visual epistemology inform and influence the ways of accessing artifacts (broadly construed) in a digital space? As Research Assistants for MIT’s Hyperstudio, we have helped to design, plan and implement Digital Humanities projects; as scholars and students of art, literature and media, we have used digitalarchives in our own research. Drawing on these experiences, we explore the ways in which three recent web-based Digital Humanities projects draw on visual conventions and interface design to translate user interactions into archival access.

Description
An account of the resource
The Automatic Obsolescence Notification System, version 2 (AONS II) is a system designed by the National Library of Australia and the Australian Partnership for Sustainable Repositories to monitor archived digital files in order to help archivists keep track of when files may become obsolete, so they may update file formats before information is lost. Pearson explains the need for this type of system, noting that “we are still far more advanced in creating digital information resources than we are in taking concrete action to preserve them.” AONS II helps archivists to deal with the practical issue of keeping digital files in updated and usable formats. Pearson discusses the PANIC (Preservation Webservices Architecture for Newmedia, Interactive Collections, and Scientific Data) model and the AONS I program that together led to the creation of AONS II. Next, he details the goals of the program and describes how the system works to track file formats and notify users of files that are in danger of becoming obsolete. Additionally, Pearson notes that AONS II is an open source program freely available for download through the SourceForge website.

Archives
Description
An account of the resource
This article examines the ways in which online archives challenge the concept of provenance. Monks-Leeson examines two online archives in detail, the First World War Poetry Digital Archive, hosted by Oxford, and the Walt Whitman Archive, edited by Ed Folsom and Kenneth M. Price, to determine the ways in which they interpret and incorporate provenance. She concludes that both websites rather offer a collection than archival fonds. According to Monks-Leesong, search emphasizes themes rather than the creator’s order; thus, online archives seem to privilege alternate structures over traditional ones, such as provenance and original order. Nevertheless, Monks-Leeson points out, traditional archives offer thematic guides as well. Additionally, online archives tend to provide rich amounts of contextual information, which allows researchers to retrace the creator’s order. Ultimately, Monks-Leeson argues that digital archives are “a familiar adaption of ongoing practices and concerns,” rather than entirely new phenomena. Archivists must therefore keep in mind those traditional concepts whilst thinking of them in complex and new ways.

As is true at many colleges and universities, the Otis College of Art and Design faculty and staff are actively exploring Web 2.0 technologies, resulting in an explosion of new digital content—learning objects, video demonstrations, interviews, audio podcasts, as well as portfolios, blogs, and wikis. Although the Otis Library owns digital asset management software, it has been a challenge to routinely archive this digital content. A range of issues is explored in this case study of how one library is confronting its changing role in relation to the educational activities of the College. Questions are also raised about the role that librarians play in archiving born-digital content.

Description
An account of the resource
In this edited volume, Gesa Kirsch and Liz Rohan explore the "backstory" of what goes into an archive. They dig deep into the research, political aspects, and decisions on what to archive. Many of the essays address the considerations involved in creating personal family archives. The writers discuss the difficulties of creating an archive that caters to a specific audience and purpose, realizing that just as history is limited so are the tools used to store information. They also maintain that archival records are not easily interpreted; both creators and readers of archival records approach these records from different interested perspectives. The authors state that professional archivists must make informed decisions as to the material they will include in an archive and must be committed to the criteria that controls the establishment of an archival collection.

Description
An account of the resource
Michela Ferron and Paolo Massa employ a quantitative study of Wikipedia as a digital archive in order to show how one can view memory as an active process. The authors begin with a discussion of Web 2.0 as public, private, and modifiable, but unable to be completely erased. They further assert that backups of the Internet, particularly in the case of Wikipedia, allowed them to conduct longitudinal studies about data. Ferron and Massa used an XML file to show the revision history of all pages of the English Wikipedia on September 16, 2010, arguing that a revision spike occurs near the anniversary of a traumatic event. They found that pages relating the September 11, 2001 attacks received an average of 10, 701 edits per day during the anniversary, and only 4,619 edits per day otherwise. Ferron and Massa compared this data to Wikipedia pages for non-traumatic events, like Woodstock and Apollo 11, which did not receive as much attention.

John P. Wilkin, executive director of <a href="http://www.hathitrust.org/">HathiTrust</a> and associate research librarian for the University of Michigan, provides an in-depth report on the current percentages of published works that are at various stages of public domain and in-copyright. He explains that ascertaining the extent of the institution’s collections, the number of orphan works (holder of copyright unavailable), and the number of works in-copyright, enables librarians and archivists to develop strategies for storage and circulation of items particularly suited for academic institutions. A comprehensive bibliography with complete metadata enables scholarship found lacking in many large-scale bibliographic resources, including WorldCat and Google Books. Although Wilkin acknowledges these sources facilitate discovery through their search and retrieval interfaces, the quality of information provided is limited primarily to publication data. He suggests a significant amount of gray literature and orphan works are unavailable due to copyright restrictions and minimal cataloging. Thus, even within academic institutions, the patrons are unaware of potentially valuable resources. Using HathiTrust’s resources to survey the scope and categories of works ranging from public domain to in-copyright status, Wilkin concludes that the largest percentage of academic library collections are comprised of orphan works. In addition to the patron’s lack of access to these rich materials, these institutions incur great cost and unnecessary duplication of printed material for storage and maintenance.
