AS IS - can be released as is for both the emulation
environment and the database
REDACTION – will need to be redacted for access;
will not be available for emulation environment, but
will be for database
RESTRICTED - no access in either environment
EMULATION ONLY - will only appear in the virtual
environment and not go into the database (e.g. files
named "Format," but that have no actual content once
you open them up).

Practical Approaches to
Born-Digital Archives: Access
SAA 2011
Session 302
Seth Shaw
How can my repository provide
access to our born-digital electronic
records in a practical manner?
It Depends...
3 Questions
1.!What are you providing access to?
2.!What do your users need or expect?
3.!What can you actually do?
Fast, cheap, and good: pick two.
Web-archiving
Example Options
Capture Mechanism
Access Mechanism
Verdict
Adobe Acrobat
PDFs
not good (usually lousy)*
HTTrack
Local copy of the site & a browser
not good (but not bad)
HTTrack
Local copy of the site in a virtual
machine w/ contemporary operating
system, browser, and plug-ins.
not fast
Heritrix
Open Source Wayback & Nutchwax
not fast/easy
Archive-It or WAS
Service provided portal
not cheap (well, not free)
*Authors own opinion using previous version (Acrobat 8 Pro); conduct your own tests as results may have improved.
