Hi there,
I’m looking for pointers to (or actual language used) for gift agreements that include transfer of born-digital material and the rights of the Archives to use password cracking to access/ transfer files that are password protected.
Thanks, BC HiveMind

Hi Kari,
“UCLA reserves the right to crack passwords or encryption systems to gain access to electronic data received as part of the Materials for the purposes of preservation.”
What language did you come up with in the end? And were you able to track down any other examples of deed of gifts or donor agreements that address this topic?
