Disk Imaging Decision Factors and Glossary available for your kind and honest review

[brian...@gmail.com]

The Digital Archival traNsfer, iNgest, and packagiNg Group (DANNNG) is pleased to present two complementary documents for your comments 

• Disk Imaging Decision Factors, exploring the role of disk imaging in digital archives by addressing assumptions and identifying potential factors that impact decision-making

• Digital Archives Technical Glossary, a glossary of terms related to digital archives with emphasis on digital forensics terms. This document seeks to contextualize technical vocabulary for cultural heritage professionals

We warmly invite members of the library, archives, museums, and cultural heritage fields to review the current versions of these documents by April 30 and submit any feedback, questions or concerns. We will review all comments and suggestions and strive to publish a revised version of each document by July 1st. We hope that these will be relevant community resources, and we want to make sure folks see themselves in these documents and find the material relevant to their work.

We have provided the documents as Google Docs, to better facilitate commenting. We look forward to hearing from you.
