Resumen original

Archives often receive obsolete digital storage media alongside paper acquisitions: CDs and DVDs mixed in with folders of correspondence, Zip disks, and floppy disks set aside by the donor with the intention to review the content later. Archives must not only have the expertise to work with digital media,but also the hardware and software to capture the content without the risk of altering the files merely by viewing them. This article will describe how Yale University Libraries and Museumms addressed accesioning of born digital archival content on physical media through a centralized digital accesioning support service.

Centralizing the hardware and expertise required for working with physical media made it possible to accession media more quickly and return the files to the originating archives for arrangement and description.

Resumen propio

En 2014, la Biblioteca de la Universidad de Yale implantó el software ArchivesSpace para la gestión de los archivos digitales de sus distintos centros y un año después integró en ese software el sistema Preservica Digital Preservation para garantizar la disponibilidad de la información a largo plazo, con el propósito de conseguir el mismo desarrollo que para sus colecciones físicas.
