Processing

Unprocessed collection.

Born digital materials imaged by Dorothy Waugh, 2018. Materials processed, arranged, and described by Brenna Edwards, 2020. Born digital materials include files taken from 24 3.5" floppy disks.

Forensic disk images were created from the 3.5" floppy disks using Kryoflux. The 5.25" floppy disks in the collection could not be imaged due to degradation. Individual files were extracted using FTK Imager and scanned for viruses using McAfee’s anti-virus software; none were found. Duplicate and system files have been removed, and files were scanned for personally identifiable information; none were found. Text-based files were migrated to PDF using Adobe Acrobat. File dates have been changed from the original creation date. Access copies retain original file names.
