Abstract
Abstract While conducting a project at a German state archives, the author developed a simple, generalizable workflow to appraise hybrid collections. The More Product Less Process (MPLP)-type workflow offers ways of reducing (where possible) the number of digital carriers that have to be migrated (migration takes 10–20 times longer than appraisal), that have to be handled and how often, and that have to be appraised qualitatively, as well as ways of reducing staff participation and thus the need for tracking complex metadata for un-appraised DCs. The workflow provides a logical mix and progression of appraisal approaches, it specifies when archivists need to be involved, and indicates how decisions about pragmatic, process-related issues will speed up, simplify, or complicate the appraisal.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Archival Organization is an international journal encompassing all aspects of the arrangement, description, and provision of access to all forms of archival materials. Articles on processing techniques and procedures, preparation of finding aids, and cataloging of archival and manuscript collections in accordance with MARC, AACR2, and other rules, standards, and cataloging conventions are only part of what you"ll find in this refereed/peer-reviewed publication. The journal places emphasis on emerging technologies, applications, and standards that range from Encoded Archival Description (EAD) and methods of organizing archival collections for access on the World Wide Web to issues connected with the digitization and display of archival materials.
