The Gray Journey: A Case Study in the Messiness of Digital Preservation Workflow Development : Long Paper - iPRES 2025 - Wellington, New Zealand / Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Aotearoa

Abstract

Workflow development, much like digital preservation, is not a state that is achieved, but a continuous process looking for efficiencies, without sacrificing authenticity, and learning from our mistakes, while discovering and developing better ways of doing things. Although mileposts are achieved along this journey, it is not complete, nor is it without mishaps. It is a messy process. Accompany Ohio State on its journey to develop a digital preservation repository and workflow for born digital content at scale. This case study will describe the development of the Gray Digital Preservation Repository, associated workflows, mishaps and a side tour along the way, all contextualized within Ohio State’s digital preservation environment.
