These calls will be entirely driven and run by the user community. The goal is to create a space for discussion that will enable practitioners to connect with one another and identify common denominators, issues, and roadblocks that affect users across different organizations. In short, we are hoping that these calls will provide a broader and more dynamic forum for user engagement and support, and ultimately foster a more cohesive and robust user community. Discussion topics may include: * project announcements * bug tracking/diagnosis * recurring problems or concerns * desired features * local customizations * identifying other users that make use of the same features Please note that these calls are intended for active Archivematica users or stakeholders only. We define ?users? broadly: participants may be archivists, technologists, developers and other experts that are currently using Archivematica to process archival material. For more information about the Archivematica User Forum including call-in details, please see: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B4hO2MJSeCa5NHpNS3ZiUnlyazQ?usp=sharing To view or add items to the agenda, please see: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TIU-peZv5fT30vFNtlogYQQBF-bELlPBnLyLm1oQcB4/edit# Comments are always welcome!

Message-ID: *Apply NOW to the Digital POWRR Digital Preservation Professional Development Institute!(Apologies for cross-posting. Please distribute widely!)Thanks to a generous grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, Digital POWRR is holding five intensive institutes in 2017-2019, enabling librarians and archivists from small and mid-sized institutions to build skills for curating and preserving digital collections. Utilizing an application process, 30 individuals will be selected to attend each POWRR Institute, resulting in a total of 150 individuals between the five events. Institutes will be offered free of charge, with financial assistance available to participants with need, and will incorporate hands-on technical training, engagement with institutional case studies, and one-on-one consultation with expert practitioners drawn from the digital preservation field. Institutes will utilize a modified cohort model to encourage attendees to form communities of practice that will continue after the conclusion of the Institutes. Attendees will also depart the Institutes with a personalized and actionable preservation plan that will enable them to take action upon returning to their institutions.Right now, the Digital POWRR team invites applications for the 3rd POWRR Institute, to be held on June 14-15, 2018 at the Arizona State University Library in Tempe, Arizona. This Institute is generously sponsored by the ASU Library. Additionally, due to their logistical support, we are able to offer 3 nights of FREE dormitory housing to ALL ATTENDEES. Scholarships to help cover travel expenses are also available to those demonstrating further financial need.An ideal candidate for a POWRR institute may be someone who fits some of these descriptions: - Someone who works in a ?boots on the ground? role (this could be any range of positions in the cultural heritage sector, but the idea is that your primary role is not one as an administrator)- Someone who has been exposed to basic digital preservation concepts, but who has struggled with moving from theory to practice- Someone who represents or serves historically underrepresented populations- Someone who is comfortable with basic technology, (navigating a basic computing environment) but who would benefit from instruction on more intermediate concepts- Someone employed by an institution unable to provide professional development funding adequate to attend other digital preservation training opportunities- Someone who works directly with digital materials, and who can work with POWRR instructors to start to create a rudimentary assessment document on digital preservation readiness at your own institution- Someone who would benefit from being a part of a small cohort of professionals like themselves, and who will put forth effort into sustaining these professional connections after the end of the InstituteFor more details on the POWRR Institutes, please visit the following page: http://digitalpowrr.niu.edu/institutes/ Apply here: https://goo.gl/forms/Sc5rpdAJUwmsrhWj1 (Note: we are collecting responses via Google Forms.

University, SwedenRead it online: http://bit.ly/2I9o7aG DuraSpace and euroCRIS will co-host a one-day event to focus on interoperability between DSpace repository and CRIS systems in advance of the CRIS 2018 Conference in Ume?, Sweden - on Wednesday, June 13, 2018. In February 2017 DuraSpace and euroCRIS signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the intent of working with the respective communities in order to share ideas and best practices on how repositories interoperate with CRIS platforms and to identify together the right technologies and standards to make this interoperability smoother and stronger. Both organizations promote a scholarly and research ecosystem which is much more integrated. CRIS systems and repositories are two important components of such an ecosystem.The CRIS 2018 Conference offers both DuraSpace and euroCRIS the right opportunity to bring the two communities together. This first joint initiative will focus on the relations between one of DuraSpace?s projects, DSpace , and the CRIS systems.DSpace users will have a great opportunity to meet to identify existing examples of integration between DSpace and CRIS systems and to discuss functionalities that DSpace could implement in the future in order to more effectively support workflows traditionally associated with Research Information Systems.The meeting is open to the international community of DSpace Users and to all those who are interested in exploring DSpace as a sustainable solution for their project. All participants will have a chance to get together and share their experience and use cases to the benefit of the whole community.Since the event is in Sweden it will provide all attendees the unique opportunity to learn how the relations between DSpace repositories and CRIS systems are being implemented in the Scandinavian Region.

It's a free, very user-friendly tool that generally speaking does a great job capturing Flash. You can also store up to 5GB on their site with playback through the browser, which makes storage and access fairly straightforward. Alternately, you could also download the WARC (web archiving file) and manage it locally, and play it back using any number of web archive players, like the WebRecorder Player. (That said, I haven't tested any local playback tools and can't recommend any one in particular.) We use Archivematica, and though we're not currently managing any WARCs locally, WARCs are a stable, widely-accepted preservation format and storage would more than likely be fine. This might be a better solution than using the Internet Archive and the Wayback Machine. (Their paid service, Archive-It, is great but can be expensive.) You can request for a page to be crawled for free on the Wayback Machine (see: "Save Page Now"), but there's no quality assurance step to ensure that you get a good capture. Their free crawler has pretty mixed results with Flash, and to my knowledge, there's no method to save files locally via the public interface. In short, I think WebRecorder can be a really great solution for small-scale web archives. It has a very low technical overhead for a very high quality capture, and will cost you only the time you spend on it. Good luck!

Message-ID: AVP is pleased to announce the release of Fixity 1.0! Fixity is a free file monitoring and attendance tool that allows users to schedule regular scans of files and folders to generate reports on new, changed, moved, renamed or missing files. Additionally, generated reports can be automatically sent to user-defined email addresses to alert of any changes found in scanned files. This release represents a rebuild from the ground up and a change of coding language from Python to Java. This release also includes the following improvements: - Addressed MacOS Sierra compatibility issues - Addressed Java 1.8 compatibility issues - Added unlimited number of directories for scanning - Added email user authentication via the Google API for increased email reliability - Added ?Disable Schedule? feature to allow users to use in a ?Run Now? only mode - Bugs disallowing checksum algorithm changes were addressed - Added ability to select the location of Fixity history and reports folders - Creation of history and reports folder now takes place upon initial launch instead of being part of the installation/download package - A bug with the encryption of passwords was fixed Fixity 1.0 is available for Mac and Windows. Download links and related documentation can be found at the following URL: https://www.weareavp.com/ products/fixity/ Fixity 1.0 is being released as a free application with the source code remaining closed. This will facilitate a more efficient path to development of a future Fixity Pro version ? to be sold in app stores ? with an extended feature set beyond the free version. Our hope is that this approach will yield a sustainable path for the ongoing support, maintenance, and development of the Fixity application for many years to come. The old code repository for Fixity will remain available and open under an AGPL v3 license and will become officially unsupported so that we can focus our resources on the new code. We thank all Fixity users for your continued feedback and input and we invite you to stay tuned for more exciting updates in the near future. You can stay in the loop by joining the Fixity user group and you can contact us via Twitter @WeAreAVP or email fixity @weareavp.com Cheers, Kara *PS In case you missed it, AVPreserve is now AVP ? you can reach us at weareavp.com .* -- Kara Van Malssen New York | Wisconsin | Florida | Wyoming | Chile 917-475-9630 WeAreAvp.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: Apologies for cross-postings BitCurator Users Forum 2018 Living on the Edge: Extending Digital Forensics into New Sectors The BitCurator Consortium (BCC) invites proposals for the 2018 BitCurator Users Forum , to be held September 13-14 at the University of California, Los Angeles. An international, community-led organization with 27 member institutions, the BCC promotes and supports the application of digital forensics tools and practices in libraries, archives, museums, and other cultural heritage organizations. As cultural heritage institutions borrow and adapt forensic techniques from criminal investigation, repurposing these context-specific forensic tools raises new questions and possibilities for engaging with born-digital materials. We want to hear your experiences and visions of how digital forensics affects your work. In previous BitCurator Users Forums we have focused on sharing strategies, approaches, and best practices for using digital forensics tools and methods within processing workflows in archives, libraries, and museums. While we still encourage proposals in these topic areas, this year we are seeking to expand the scope and discussions on digital forensics to new areas including, but not limited to personal digital archiving, digital humanities research, and data privacy. We particularly welcome participation from organizations and individuals working outside of academic and special collections libraries, as well as individuals working outside of the United States. Please note that the BitCurator Users Forum is open to all. You don't need to be a BCC member to submit a proposal and/or attend the event. The first day of the BitCurator Users Forum will feature an introduction to digital forensics workshop aimed at practitioners who are just getting started working with digital forensics tools and methods. This workshop will include an overview of digital forensics concepts, and will mostly focus on hands-on exercises and activities. For attendees looking to dive a little deeper into specific topics or issues, day one will also feature a ?Let?s-Do-This-a-thon?--a collaborative working session for which we are seeking suggestions of topics, hare-brained project ideas, problems, issues, etc. We invite submissions in advance (more details below) but will provide time at the beginning of day one for attendees to self-organize around topics and interests. The second day will include a mix of panels, presentations, and lightning talks. We invite proposals for the following session formats: - ?Let?s-do-this-a-thon? working sessions - Presentations - Panels - Lightning Talks Submission Information ?Let?s-do-this-a-thon? sessions Inspired by OpenCon?s Do-A-Thon , we are organizing activities on day one around this model of quickly forming small groups to start getting things done. We welcome submissions on a wide range of topics, problems/challenges, project ideas, workflow issues, theoretical musings, etc. These sessions do not have to be technical in nature / focus, and could include topics such as: - sharing best practices on description of born-digital materials - outreach and advocacy - training strategies for public services staff - tools / scripts that you want to start building - works-in-progress you?d like to get feedback on Presentations 1 - 2 presenters, 45 - 60 minutes Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words. This format is intended for one or two speakers presenting a single perspective, piece of research, or practical investigation. We encourage presentations to move beyond the case study and address pressing issues, best practices, opportunities for collaboration, visions, and expanded uses for digital forensics in libraries, archives, and museums. Panels Individual or group submissions welcome. 3 - 5 presenters, 60 - 75 minutes Please submit a 250-word (maximum) abstract. If submitting as an solo speaker, individual panelists may be matched by the BCC Program Committee based on complementarity of subjects or overarching themes. We encourage panels to represent a range of professional backgrounds and experience. Proposals that include diverse perspectives (i.e., faculty, students, researchers, community members, archivists, and/or multiple institutions) are strongly encouraged. Alternative panel formats (pecha kucha, lightning talks followed by small group discussions, or others) that will facilitate dialogue and enlarge participation are also invited. Lightning Talks 1 presenter, 5-12 minutes Please submit an abstract of no more than 250 words. Lightning talks are a great format for case studies, digital forensics ?success stories? or ?tragic tales,? and research updates. Other session formats are welcome, especially sessions that incorporate interactivity and audience participation. Topics We invite presentations that address any topic related to digital forensics. Topics of particular interest include: - case studies: specific applications of digital forensics in a variety of domains - architecture, design, art, manuscripts, organizational records, museum collections, corporate archives, digital humanities, investigative journalism, personal digital archiving, to name some examples - and with different types of materials, such as records, manuscripts, digital art, or research data - access to born-digital materials: how are organizations providing access? What description, software, hardware, and policies are used? - training: teaching and learning in digital preservation, forensics, and archives, including advocacy, ?in-reach,? and cross-training across roles within organizations - ethical concerns: how privacy and security, donor relations, institutional risk tolerance, and other ethical issues affect forensic analysis - tool integrations: developing workflows that connect multiple digital curation systems - process automation: use of scripting and related methods to support efficiency Review The BCC Program Committee will review and accept abstracts based on their relevance to the conference theme and audience; the clarity of description; and their potential for inspiring discussion, collaboration, and innovation. Deadlines Submission Deadline: April 20, 2018 Acceptance Notification: May 18, 2018 How to Submit Submit proposals here . Eligibility & Requirements We welcome proposals from archivists, librarians, digital forensics software and systems providers (vendors), scholars, students, and other individuals working with digital forensics on a regular basis, at both BCC member institutions and non-member institutions, large and small. We particularly welcome submissions from organizations and individuals working outside of the United States, as well as individuals working outside of academic and special collections libraries. Presenters must register for and attend the conference. Presenters must also sign and submit a speaker agreement granting permission to the BCC to distribute their slides online with a CC-BY license. Some sessions will be recorded and distributed online, with permission from the presenters. These presenters will also be asked to sign and submit an agreement granting permission to the BCC to record presentations and distribute recordings online with a CC-BY license. Exceptions to the CC-BY license will be considered on a case-by-case basis. BitCurator Consortium The BitCurator Consortium (BCC) is an independent, community-led membership association that serves as the host and center of administrative, user and community support for the BitCurator environment. Its purpose is to support the curation of born-digital materials through the application of open-source digital forensics tools by institutions responsible for such materials. The BCC is now welcoming institutions in all sectors and nations to join as General Members. Member benefits include: - Access to the BCC help desk - Prioritization in future feature and enhancement requests - Dedicated educational offerings - Voting rights - Eligibility to serve on the BCC Executive Council and Committees - Service opportunities - Community engagement and networking - Professional development and training - Subscription to a dedicated BCC member mailing list - Special rates for BCC events, including the annual BitCurator User Forum The BCC exists to ensure that the BitCurator community continues to thrive in the years to come. Please consider joining this growing community of practice and international conversation around this emerging set of practices.

Are you currently facing access roadblocks to data in your collections due to legacy software dependencies? Are you currently using, testing or curious about emulation as an access strategy? Does your organization collect software (passively or actively) for rendering your existing digital data? Have you thought about how to link existing software collections together? We are excited to announce the kick-off of the Scaling Emulation and Software Preservation (EaaSY) project! Awarded to Yale University by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, EaaSY brings together a team of digital preservation practitioners, semantic architects, computer scientists and software developers to develop a community-driven, scalable emulation infrastructure. To receive EaaSY project updates via newsletter and share your software preservation successes/challenges, sign up for the Software Preservation Network mailing list by visiting https://groups.google .com/d/forum/software-preservation-network. If you have questions for the project team, please contact us at eaasy[at]yale[dot]edu The EaaSY project builds on previous work to apply the Emulation-as-a-Service(EaaS) framework for access and use of preserved software and digital objects. The project is focused on scaling the technological framework necessary for multiple institutions to configure, share, and access software and configured environments. EaaSY is focused on a distributed, community-driven architecture that sits on top of existing digital preservation infrastructure. This directly complements existing efforts by the Software Preservation Network and others to address key aspects of software preservation including legal advocacy, research about local software preservation needs, institutional capacity building for software preservation, collection development, professional development and training, and workflow recommendations. *Project Team:* Seth Anderson, Program Manager, Yale University Euan Cochrane, Principal Investigator, Yale University Jessica Meyerson, Outreach and Communications Lead, Educopia Institute Klaus Rechert, Architecture and Development Lead, Open SLX Katherine Thornton, Semantic Architect, Yale University Stay tuned!

The webinar is free and open to the public and will be held on April 20, 2018 at 12pm ET. Please register for the webinar here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/bcc-webinar-bitcurator-nlp-project-registration-44407401734 The BitCurator NLP project has been developing software for collecting institutions to extract, analyze, and produce reports on features of interest in text extracted from born-digital materials. The project is adapting existing natural language processing (NLP) software to identify and report on items likely to be relevant to ongoing preservation, information organization, and access, including entities (e.g. persons, places, and organizations), potential relationships among entities, and topic models to provide insight into how concepts are naturally clustered within the documents. In this webinar current versions of BCA Webtools and the BitCurator NLP tools will be demonstrated. The webinar will conclude with a discussion of future directions.The webinar will be led by Cal Lee and Kam Woods from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Information and Library Science.There are no prerequisites for this webinar. However, it is designed for users already familiar with the basic operations of the BitCurator environment. The webinar will be roughly one hour, including at least 10 minutes for Q&A at the end. The webinar will be recorded and made available publicly on the BitCurator Consortium website.* Sam Meister Preservation Communities Manager, Educopia Institute sam at educopia.org http://educopia.org @samalanmeister -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
