File formats ● File size & extent ● Description & Inventory ● location of physical media Description & ● location(s) of files bit.ly/1p1ZDGm

Inventory Title & Category Date Location Extent Format Description Dates covered in Location Extent of Format ● ● ● ● content of physical physical of files media record (if Date of digitized) ● digitization / File ● creation of location Size and ● digital files extent of file (s) Date of ● acquisition bit.ly/1p1ZDGm

High Born digital Priority ● Digitized where there is no analog ● Digitized (add’l features & annotations) ● Digitized where there is an analog ● Objects preserved elsewhere ● Objects that don’t fall within ● your mission Low Priority bit.ly/1p1ZDGm

High priority items may require More copies of each file ● More storage in separate geographic locations ● More frequent fixity checks ● More robust monitoring for format obsolescence ● bit.ly/1p1ZDGm
