Contributo para a preservação digital do Arquivo Digital da Universidade do Porto

Abstract

With this contribution, it is intended to present, in a succinct way, the work that was developed in the context of the work-based learning component, in an internship format, integrated in the specialization course of the Mu.SA project, within the scope of the profile of Digital Collections Curator. The internship happened in the Documentation and Information Management unit of UPDIGITAL, one of the functional centers of the University of Porto Rectory. The main goal was to contribute to the digital preservation of objects that constitute documental series of the Digital Archive of UPORTO, ending with the insertion of these objects in a specific platform, Libsafe. After the presentation of the object, the objectives and methodology, there is a succinct contextualization of themes that are relevant to the work, such as digital preservation, supports, practices, tools, and formats normally used in this practice. The documental series, the tasks performed, and the results obtained are presented, sharing reflections, and making considerations.
