Appraising digital archives with Archivematica

The Bentley Historical Library, funded by a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, has developed a new Appraisal and Arrangement tab in the Archivematica digital preservation system as part of its “ArchivesSpace-Archivematica-DSpace Workflow Integration” project. This new functionality permits users to conduct large-scale appraisal of digital archives as part of a largely automated workflow that extends from the point of acquisition through deposit in a preservation repository.
