Archival Arrangement and Description: Analog to Digital teaches the
core functions of arrangement and description. A historical summary
grounds new archivists to assess proposed changes for digital
files. After presenting the basics of arrangement and description
(processing) for analog materials, the text segues to digital
materials incorporating the OAIS preservation model into a
detailed, sample workflow. Although accessioning and technical
appraisal precede processing, they are discussed because they are
performed differently for digital materials and create a different
starting point for processing digital files. Description is
external to the OAIS model but linked to it. Recent advances in
description and its delivery are presented along with concerns for
the ability of smaller archives to participate in envisioned future
developments that are technology reliant. New specialties like
digital curation and data curation show the continued relevance of
archival expertise for the digital future. Rich with extras, the
text includes and points to many readily web accessible additional
resources.
