Abstract:
 
The BitCurator Project, a collaborative effort led by the School of 
Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina at 
Chapel Hill and Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities at 
the University of Maryland, builds on previous work by addressing two 
fundamental needs and opportunities for collecting institutions: (1) 
integrating digital forensics tools and methods into the workflows and 
collection management environments of libraries, archives and museums 
and (2) supporting properly mediated public access to forensically 
acquired data.
 
The project is developing and disseminating a suite of open source 
tools. These tools are currently being developed and tested in a Linux 
environment; the software on which they depend can readily be compiled 
for Windows environments (and in most cases are currently distributed as 
both source code and Windows binaries). We intend the majority of the 
development for BitCurator to support cross-platform use of the 
software. We are freely disseminating the software under an open source 
(GPL, Version 3) license. BitCurator provides users with two primary 
paths to integrate digital forensics tools and techniques into archival 
and library workflows.
 
This webinar will introduce the BitCurator environment and briefly 
highlight support for mounting media as read-only, creating disk images, 
using Nautilus scripts to perform batch activities, generation of 
Digital Forensics XML (DFXML), generation of customized reports, and 
identification of sensitive data within data.
 
Participants who are interested in trying out the software in advance 
can download and install the BitCurator environment by following the

Bio:
 
Christopher (Cal) Lee is Associate Professor at the School of 
Information and Library Science at the University of North Carolina, 
Chapel Hill. He teaches courses on archival administration; records 
management; digital curation; understanding information technology for 
managing digital collections; and acquiring information from digital 
storage media. He is a lead organizer and instructor for the DigCCurr 
Professional Institute, and he teaches professional workshops on the 
application of digital forensics methods and principles to digital 
acquisitions.
 
Cal's primary area of research is the curation of digital collections. 
He is particularly interested in the professionalization of this work 
and the diffusion of existing tools and methods into professional 
practice. Cal developed "A Framework for Contextual Information in 
Digital Collections," and edited and provided several chapters to I, 
Digital: Personal Collections in the Digital Era published by the 
Society of American Archivists.
 
Cal is Principal Investigator of BitCurator, which is developing and 
disseminating open-source digital forensics tools for use by archivists 
and librarians. He was also Principal Investigator of the Digital 
Acquisition Learning Laboratory (DALL) project, which incorporated 
digital forensics tools and methods into digital curation education. Cal 
has served as Co-PI on several projects focused on preparing 
professionals for digital curation: Preserving Access to Our Digital 
Future: Building an International Digital Curation Curriculum 
(DigCCurr), DigCCurr II: Extending an International Digital Curation 
Curriculum to Doctoral Students and Practitioners; Educating Stewards of 
Public Information for the 21st Century (ESOPI-21), Educating Stewards 
of the Public Information Infrastructure (ESOPI2), and Closing the 
Digital Curation Gap (CDCG).
