Bourbon Meets Scotch: Prioritizing Media Migration by Uniting Technical Prioritisation With Archival Appraisal : Short Paper - iPRES 2025 - Wellington, New Zealand / Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa

Abstract

This paper provides a summary of our work-in-progress to adapt the University of Glasgow Special Collections and Archives’ Media Prioritisation Tool to assist in the reappraisal of unmigrated and under-described digital media carriers at the University of Kentucky Libraries. We added an element to this tool that incorporates appraisal criteria, such as archival research value, to our evaluation, as most of the digital media on our shelves meets the Digital Preservation Coalition’s definition of practically extinct or critically endangered. We required another criteria to guide the order in which we address the migration and long-term preservation of this born-digital backlog.
