Digital Preservation
• Key component of digital collections strategy• As investment in digital collections grows, expenditure on preserving
digital must rise • Reference to accepted standards: OAIS, METS, XML• Digital Asset Management System (DAMS)
– Built on FEDORA digital library– Sun Honeycomb storage technology– Different application layers built on top
• BEAM (Bodleian Electronic Archives and Manuscripts)– A DAMS instance, designed to preserve the digital equivalents of
personal archives

Personal digital collections: new phenomenon, new
problem• Bodleian a major repository of private papers• Politics: 6 British Prime Ministers, etc• Literature: Tolkien, Kafka, C S Lewis etc• Intellectuals: Isaiah Berlin, Bruce Chatwin etc• Organisations: Conservative Party, Anti-
Apartheid Movement etc• Rapid growth in personal media capture: depth
and breadth:• Digital images, video, sound, personal
digitization• Standard ‘Office’ materials: email, word
processed files, spreadsheets• Communication media: webpages, blogs
![Page 54: 2010 Nalis Presentation1](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070315/554dd01fb4c905c70e8b46ef/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
54
Acquisition from older media
• Equipment, software and documentation– Acquire, store and maintain
• Slow, specialist, but small-ish quantities• Draw on enthusiast expertise• Develop and document processes• Processes obliterate metadata
![Page 55: 2010 Nalis Presentation1](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070315/554dd01fb4c905c70e8b46ef/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
55
From manual to automated (mass) extraction
• Modern offline media in archival collections – more of it.
• Currently: imaged disk by disk• Post futureArch:
– En masse forensic imaging– Error logs– Hashing– Analysis of disks– Operates unattended
Up to 100 discs at once
Up to 150 diskettes at once

Changes: Funding
• 75% of the Bodleian funds come from the University.• University’s funding from the State is under pressure• Bodleian increasingly dependent on its own income:
– Shop and merchandise– Tours, filming etc– Digital collections (licensing)– Fundraising through philanthropy and research grants
• 2010-12 funds cut by 10%
