About BitCurator

The BitCurator environment is an Ubuntu-based Linux distribution that
includes open source and public domain digital forensics tools, as well as
unique reporting mechanisms and user interfaces, designed to assist
libraries, archives, and museums with the curation of born-digital
materials. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the BitCurator
project has developed, packaged, and documented open-source forensics and
data analysis tools to create forensic disk images, analyze files and file
systems, extract file system metadata, identify and redact sensitive
information, and identify and remove duplicate files.


The BCC operates as an affiliated community of the Educopia Institute
<http://educopia.org>, a nonprofit organization that advances cultural,
scientific, and scholarly institutions by catalyzing networks and
collaborative communities to facilitate collective impact. Learn more about
BCC and its growing network of libraries, archives, and museums at
