Born digital materials processed, arranged, and described by Brenna Edwards, 2020. Born digital materials include files taken from a file transfer.

Forensic disk images were created from the file transfer using CygWin. 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 and image files were migrated to JPG using GIMP. File dates have been changed from the original creation date. Access copies retain original folder titles and file names.
