archivematica-infrastructure

We use Archivematica to process and store our born-digital archives.

This processing includes:

• Analysing files in the archive, like virus scanning, file format identification, and fixity checking
• Creating a metadata description of the archive that can be read by downstream applications 8 Uploading the archive to our permanent cloud storage

It's an open-source application created by Artefactual, and we run a lightly modified fork.

You can read more about our Archivematica deployment in our documentation.
