title: Digital Preservation Pipeline for Data Storage Media At The Cinémathèque Suisse
creators: Robin François Rebecca Rochat
abstract: Bit rot and technical obsolescence are threatening the ability to read data storage media received by GLAM institutions. This paper presents the work in progress to build a pipeline of autonomous steps to correctly preserve information on data storage media. Inspired by video game and computer science preservation communities, our pipeline relies on promising open-source software, such as Aaru or HxCFloppyEmulator, and hardware such as Pauline. Challenges and limitations of our approach are discussed.
